"Electra" of Euripidis

"...No one does not hear my mournings! The slaughter of my father was forgotten. With his murderer sleeps with my mother and my brother all alone drained away in foreigner land. And myself, kicked out of my house melting and suffering, in this cage...".

In one deserted farm outside from Argos, lives Electra, daughter of murdered king Agamemnona. Her marriage with a insignificant villager looks like a social death. Day and night, she mourns so much, that she has forgotten to do anything else.
Her brother Orestes, at last returns, secretly. The male offspring is burdened with the debt of revenge, murder in his murder, said Apollo. The two siblings now are working on a plan to kill their mother Klytaimnistra and her lover Aigisthos.
The tragedy "Electra" of Euripidis, presented for the first time in 413 B.C., most likely after "Choifores of" Aischylos and "Electra" of Sophocles. Euripidis, not only changes the form and the content, but shifts the significance of tragic in human realm. He analyzes with an inside look at his heroes and the moral dilemmas that are presented maintained through to the present.
It is the history of crime and questioning that is floating around ironically: "Was the order now restored that you killed your mother?".
