In a gripping tale of revenge and moral conflict, Orestes finds himself haunted by the Furies after fulfilling Apollos command to avenge his fathers murder by killing his mother, Clytemnestra. As he grapples with the torment of his actions, only his sister Electra can bring him solace amidst the chaos. However, a powerful faction in Argos seeks his death for the crime he committed, and Orestes salvation hinges on the return of his uncle Menelaus, fresh from the Trojan War and laden with wealth. Set against the backdrop of a complex web of familial ties and moral dilemmas, this play unfolds after Euripides’ Electra and Aeschylus’ The Libation Bearers, yet precedes The Eumenides and Andromache. As Buckley aptly notes, The play is among the most celebrated on the stage, but infamous in its morals; for, with the exception of Pylades, all the characters are bad persons. - Summary by Wikipedia and Theodore BuckleyCopyright Short Stories Arte Intrattenimento e arti dello spettacolo Teatro e spettacoli
