Sophocles: "Electra" - Duckworth Companions to Greek & Roman Tragedy
Michael Lloyd
The author discusses whether Orestes' vengeance on his mother for her murder of his father is a just and final act of violence in 'Electra', or whether Sophocles ironically implies that it is more problematic than it seems. He pays particular attention to Electra herself, but also discusses wider issues of Greek ethics.
