Euripides
"Orestes" was one of Euripides' most popular plays in antiquity. Its plot, which centres on Orestes' murder of his mother Clytemnestra and its aftermath, is exciting as well as morally complex; its presentation of madness is intense and disturbing; and, it deals with politics in a way which has resonances for ancient and modern democracies.
