Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, returns from the Trojan War. At his welcoming banquet, his wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus, will murder the king as payment for Iphigenia, the couple’s daughter, offered as a sacrifice by her own father to the gods to allow the king’s return to Mycenae. Electra, also the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, lives outside the palace. When she realizes what has happened, she decides to avenge her father’s death with her brother, Orestes, to bring justice by killing those who perpetrated it: her own mother, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus.
