Electra, a powerful Greek tragedy by Sophocles, is shrouded in mystery regarding its exact date of composition. However, its stylistic connections with other works like Philoctetes (409 BC) and Oedipus at Colonus (401 BC) suggest it was crafted towards the twilight of Sophocles illustrious career. Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War in the city of Argos, the play delves into the gripping tale of Electra and her brother Orestes as they seek vengeance against their mother, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus, for the brutal murder of their father, Agamemnon. - Summary by Wikipedia
