Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Elektra (5)
Earth to Elysian Fields Emathia to Eretria Erginos to Eulimene Eumaios to Exomis
A tragedy by Euripides which was produced circa 413 BCE.
The story deals with the tragic figures of Orestes and Elektra after Orestes has killed their mother, Klytemnestra (Clytemnestra), and her lover, Aigisthos; the story is more of a character study than the play by the same name by Sophokles (Sophocles).
I personally recommend the translations compiled by Richmond Lattimore and David Grene; you can find this and other plays by Euripides in the 882 section of your local library or you can order them from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.
