Orestes by Euripides
"Orestes" by Euripides is an Ancient Greek play written in 408 BCE that follows the tormented son of Agamemnon after he murders his mother Clytemnestra. Driven mad by the Furies and condemned to death by Argos, Orestes desperately seeks help from his uncle Menelaus, who has just returned from Troy. When betrayed, Orestes and his sister Electra plot violent revenge, leading to a crisis that challenges both divine justice and human morality
in a Athens weakened by war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
