Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Ορέστης" by Euripides is a classical Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The work revolves around the themes of revenge, guilt, and familial duty, primarily focusing on the character of Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, as he grapples with the consequences of murdering his mother, Clytemnestra, in revenge for his father's death. Alongside him is his sister Electra, both of whom are caught in a web of moral dilemmas and supernatural influences. The opening of "Ορέστης" establishes a dark and tense atmosphere where Orestes lies in a state of mental and physical distress, haunted by his actions. His sister Electra cares for him, expressing both anguish and solidarity amid their shared suffering due to their family's tragic history. As the dialogue unfolds, they lament their fate, awaiting the arrival of Menelaus, their uncle, whose return from the Trojan War offers a glimmer of hope. However, the underlying tension remains as they confront the societal condemnation and personal torment stemming from Orestes' crime, setting the stage for the unfolding drama.
