A daughter’s grief. A burning desire for justice. A fate that cannot be escaped.

In Electra, Sophocles delivers a powerful and emotionally charged tragedy centered on one of Greek mythology’s most compelling heroines. Consumed by sorrow and anger after her father’s murder, Electra lives for one purpose alone—revenge.

Rich in emotional intensity and dramatic power, Electra explores themes that remain deeply relevant today—family, justice, and the consequences of our choices.

Perfect for readers of classic literature and mythology, this timeless play offers:

A strong and unforgettable female protagonist Themes of revenge, justice, and moral ambiguity A cornerstone of ancient Greek tragedy Intense drama with psychological depth

Dark, gripping, and unforgettable, Electra is a masterpiece that continues to captivate readers across generations.

When justice becomes obsession, where do we draw the line?
