This Euripides collection uses familiar heroic houses to examine vengeance, grief, divine pressure and public judgement. Electra revisits the murder of Agamemnon and the revenge of Orestes and Electra, while the other plays in the volume place damaged families and captive women in the aftermath of war. It is useful for readers tracing how Euripides reworks the Trojan and Argive myth cycles rather than for a single historical battle narrative.
