Ορέστης by Euripides
"Ορέστης" by Euripides is an Ancient Greek play written in 408 BCE that follows Orestes after he murders his mother Clytemnestra to avenge his father's death. Tormented by Furies and facing execution by Argive citizens, Orestes desperately seeks help from his uncle Menelaus, who refuses. With his sister Electra and friend Pylades, Orestes devises a vengeful plan involving Helen and her daughter Hermione. The play explores themes of justice, divine will, and
political manipulation, offering a darker reimagining of the mythological story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
