Few figures in Greek mythology embody vengeance like Elektra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Betrayal, grief, and justice shaped her tragic fate.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Armand D’Angour to explore Elektra’s story and its powerful new London stage production starring Brie Larson. Along the way, they delve into Sophocles' and Euripides' strikingly different portrayals - one noble and resolute, the other bitter and broken - unpacking what these versions reveal about morality, fate, and female agency in the ancient world.See Brie Larson star as Elektra in London's West End: https://www.thedukeofyorks.com/elektraPresented by Tristan Hughes.

It's the Ancients on History Hit. I'm Tristan Hughes, your host. Today we're focusing on one of the most complex and compelling figures in ancient Greek mythology and tragedy, Electra. A daughter whose path is first set in motion from the events of the legendary Trojan War.
Elektra ist die Tochter von Agamemnon, König von Mycenae und Heroin der Trojaner Kriege, dessen Tod tatsächlich geöffnet wurde, bevor er zu Troja kam.
Nachdem er von stehenden Winden mit seiner Armee auf dem Weg nach Troja ging, als sie versuchen, Griechenland zu verlassen, ist Agamemnon erzählt, dass er seine Tochter, Elektras Schwester Iphigenia, zerstören muss, um die Göttin Artemis zu beheben und den Wind wieder zu starten.
