– “daughter «ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ»
(“Eléctra”) ‘has it out’ with
mother «ΚΛΥΤΑΙΜΝΗΣΤΡΑ»
(“Clytaemnéstra”), in ‘the
presence’ of «ΧΟΡΟΣ»
(“chorus” ~ “dance”)”
:
“… and, when they hear the Truth, these
good women here, if it is necessary, let
them hate me …”
{ ReMark* : not with
veracious Anglophone
interpretation in
the sub~titles }
.

[ Note* :
“this” film, was based on
the authorship of «ΕΥΡΥΠΙΔΗΣ»
(“Euripídes”)
and, an annotation is
imperative to present “here”
:
«ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ» (“Electra”)
is a “protagonist” of
all 3 major ancient Ellenic
«ΤΡΑΓΩΔΙΑ» ( =”scape~goat ode” )
[ =”immolation to «ΔΙΑΣ»~to ‘god’” ]
tragedy theatre play~authors, namely
: «ΣΟΦΟΚΛΗΣ» (“Sophoclés”)
: «ΕΥΡΙΠΙΔΗΣ» (“Euripídes”)
composing entire work with “her character”,
and, even
: «ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΣ» (“Aeschylos”)
“the eldest” and “austerer”
“all~so” essential to re~iterate
“who” «ΚΛΥΤΑΙΜΝΗΣΤΡΑ» is !
:
~ “sister” of
> «ΚΑΣΤΩΡ» & «ΠΟΛΥΔΕΥΚΗΣ»
(“Cástor” & “Polydéfkis”)
the
«ΔΙΔΥΜΟΙ» ~ “twins”
“Gemini” constellation
> infamous «ΕΛΕΝΗ» (“Eléni”)
“known as : of Troy”
~ “wife” of
> «ΑΓΑΜΕΜΝΩΝ» (“Agamémnon”)
Leader of Mycenae ~ “Lions’ Gate”
+ some “versions”
of «ΑΡΓΟΣ» (“Árgos”)
& crusader of “the war on Troy”
~ “mother” of
> «ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ» ~ “Eléctra”
> «ΙΦΙΓΕΝΕΙΑ» ~ “Iphigénia”
> «ΟΡΕΣΤΗΣ» ~ “Oréstis”
her most “famous” of children
… ^_^ …
with
> «ΧΡΥΣΟΘΕΜΙΣ» ~ “Chrysothémis”
later with “lover”
«ΑΙΓΥΣΘΟΣ» (“Aégisthos”)
> «ΗΡΙΓΟΝΗ» ~ “Erigóne”
(… some “versions” confuse me
«to be» “honest” ! …)
in “any way”,
“Clytaemnéstra” had
her beloved daughter
“Iphigenía”
slaughtered by
“Agamémnon”
as “appeasement” to
“Goddess Ártemis”,
who “ceased all winds”
and “ships could not launch to sail”
beCause, “he” killed
«Her» “sacred stag”! ]
