Ορέστης

A tormented Orestes returns to his family home, haunted by the memory of killing his mother Clytemnestra to avenge his father Agamemnon. The weight of the murder presses on his conscience, and the Furies stalk his thoughts, demanding punishment for the crime of matricide. His sister Electra, still raw from the same loss, hovers nearby, sharing his grief and feeding the relentless cycle of vengeance that grips the house of the Atreidae.

News arrives that Menelaus, the husband of Helen, is approaching from Troy, bringing with him the promise of a new ally and a chance for redemption. Yet the city’s elders convene a trial that could seal Orestes’ fate, while his desperate longing for justice drives him toward ever darker thoughts. The drama unfolds as ancient codes of honor clash with personal guilt, setting the stage for a tense confrontation that will test the limits of family loyalty and divine retribution.
