Abstract:
The different interpretations of the myth are presented here, as they are dramatized in the plays of the three tragic poets, and the side elements which define the differentiations and the stressing of other characteristics in each of them are analyzed. Aeschylus’ trilogy with the myth of Orestes’ vengeance, Sophocles’ Electra and the homonymous play of Euripides comprise the comparative material upon which the study to list the goals of each tragic poet and the shifting of the center of interest of each play into other elements is based. Henceforth, from the more “politically oriented” timbre of Aeschylus’ trilogy with the predominant position of Areios Pagos and its institutional role, the myth of vengeance passes to Electra of Sophocles as a matter of moral order for the tragedy’s heroes, whereas in that of Euripides the human element is overly stressed as well as the anti-heroic character of its leading roles.
