Und so, wie du sagst, die Namen dieser beiden Spiele sind Elektra. Die Euripides-Version ist typisch Euripidean. Ich meine, er war immer bereit, etwas Cleveres, Ungewöhnliches und Innovatives zu machen. Und in Aeschylus' Coethean, was du bekommst, ist, dass Elektra wartet auf die Rückkehr von Orestes, um ihn zu beheben. Denn Orestes wurde in Exil gesendet, also war er nicht in Mycenae, im Palast.
