The Sophoclean classic: When King Agamemnon returns from the Trojan
War with his new concubine, Cassandra, his wife Clytemnestra (who
has taken Agamemnons cousin Aegisthus as a lover) kills them.
Clytemnestra believes the murder was justified, since Agamemnon had
sacrificed their daughter Iphigenia before the war, as commanded by
the gods. Electra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, rescued
her young, twin brother Orestes from her mother by sending him to
Strophius of Phocis. The play begins years later when Orestes has
returned as a grown man with a plot for revenge, as well as to
claim the throne.
