AI overview
"Orestes" is an ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides that tells the story of Orestes, who kills his mother Clytemnestra to avenge his father Agamemnon's murder, then faces madness and divine punishment for the act. The play remains significant because it explores profound themes of justice, revenge, and moral responsibility that have influenced Western literature and thought for over two thousand years.
