More about Elektra

“Is it a statute that the blood of murder flows,
Spilled to the earth, demands anew
For blood. But murder calls up the Erinys,
Which leads to the bloodguilt of the murdered before
Again and again new bloodguilt. ”
- Aeschylus; translation: Oskar Werner: Choephoren, p. 400ff.

In view of the worldwide armed conflicts over power, religion, inequality in relation to women and men and the associated “medieval” thinking in the sense of traditional toxic ideas of masculinity, which produce suffering and misery and darken thinking, Electra is also representative example of this.

Passed down by Homer, she was still called “Laodicea” in Homer's play, but was only given the name “Electra” by the tragedy writers. Dramatized by Sophocles as “Electra” (around 410 BC), by Aeschylus as “The Grave-Givers” in the “Oresteia” in 458 BC and by Euripides again as “Electra” in the period between 420 - 413 BC.
In modern times, Hugo von Hofmannsthal wrote a new version of the material with the same name, which he later reworked into a libretto for Richard Strauss' opera “Elektra”. Gerhart Hauptmann also wrote an “Elektra”. Later, Jean-Paul Sartre (in the drama “The Flies”) and Jean Giraudoux (“Électre”) used the myth.
“Mourning Becomes Electra” is a trilogy of plays by Eugene O'Neill that premiered at the Guild Theatre in New York on October 26, 1931.
