Some suggest that the tragedy is Euripedes’
Electra, but, unlike that play, the woman killed her husband on her own, and has been punished for it. Moreover, this act is not in vengeance, nor is what happens to the former boyfriend. With so much changed, the claim that it is the same story is doubtful.
