Translation into modern Greek by Angelos Tanagras
"Ηλέκτρα" by Ευριπίδη is a classic Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The play revolves around the themes of revenge, familial duty, and the haunting consequences of betrayal. The central characters include Electra, the daughter of Agamemnon, and her brother Orestes, both of whom seek vengeance against their mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus for the murder of their father. The opening of "Ηλέκτρα" establishes a somber and tragic atmosphere, as the characters grapple with their past and present suffering. Electra mourns the loss of her father, Agamemnon, and expresses her despair at her forced marriage to a peasant, orchestrated by Aegisthus to prevent her from bearing avenging children. As Orestes secretly returns to Argos with plans for revenge, he meets Electra, sparking their shared resolve to execute justice for their father's murder. The opening sets the stage for themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the struggle against fate that will unfold throughout the tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
