Electra
Translated by Lewis Campbell (1906)
Orestes returns to Mycenae in disguise, sent by Apollo to avenge Agamemnon. Electra, who has mourned her murdered father for years, believes her brother dead until he reveals himself; together they kill their mother Clytemnestra and then her lover Aegisthus.
