This is an English translation of Sophocles’ tragedy of Electra, and the vengeance that she and her brother Orestes take on their mother and step father for the murder of their father. This edition also includes an “afterlife” essay that discusses adaptations of the play, as well as touches on other ways Electra has had influence (Jung’s identification of the Electra Complex, O’Neill’s “Mourning Becomes Electra”). Focus Classical Library provides close translations with notes and essays to provide access to understanding Greek culture.
