It recreates the myth of Electra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, after the murder of her father. Electra awaits the return of her brother Orestes and embodies the demand for justice and vengeance, defying the power of Aegisthus and the price that truth may exact on her kingdom. Giraudoux combines tragic force with humor and irony.
The play was originally published in 1937. This edition belongs to the Le Théâtre de Poche collection.
For readers of classical theater, French literature and Greek mythology.
