Omschrijving
In SophoclesÆ hands the focus of the play is on Electra herself: her endurance and loyalty to the dead Agamemnon while oppressed and persecuted by Clytemnestra and Aegistus;
this is a splendid edition, a good read for anyone interested in the play and a good text for students at any level.'
