  Euripides takes the old myth of Orestes' and Elektra's revenge on their mother Klytemnestra for their father Agamemnon's murder and reinterprets it in realistic, human terms. This translation was first performed together with 'Orestes and Iphigeneia in Tauris' as 'Agamemnon's Children' at the Gate Theatre, London, in 1995.
