Electra
In Greek mythology, Electra (; (ギリシア語:Ἠλέκτρα), ''Ēlektra'') was the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, and thus princess of Argos.〔Evans (1970), p. 79〕 She and her brother Orestes plotted revenge against their mother Clytemnestra and stepfather Aegisthus for the murder of their father, Agamemnon.
Electra is one of the most popular mythological characters in tragedies.〔 She is the main character in two Greek tragedies, ''Electra'' by Sophocles and ''Electra'' by Euripides. She is also the central figure in plays by Aeschylus, Alfieri, Voltaire, Hofmannsthal, and Eugene O'Neill.〔
In psychology, the Electra complex is named after her.
==Family==
Electra's parents were King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra. Her sisters were Iphigeneia and Chrysothemis, and her brother was Orestes. In the Iliad, Homer is understood to be referring to Electra in mentioning "Laodice" as a daughter of Agamemnon.〔("Agamemnon" in ''Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization'', as quoted at eNotes.com )〕
