Description

Ο Ορέστης κείτεται 'άρρωστος', κυνηγημένος από τις Ερινύες εξαιτίας του φόνου της μητέρας του, ενώ οι Αργείοι ετοιμάζονται να αποφασίσουν για την τιμωρία τη δική του αλλά και της Ηλέκτρας, καθώς θεωρείται συνεργός στο φόνο. Οι ελπίδες τους για σωτηρία στρέφονται στον Μενέλαο, που όμως θα πεισθεί από τον Τυνδάρεω, πατέρα της Κλυταιμνήστρας, να μη βοηθήσει τα δυο αδέρφια, αλλά να αφήσει να επιβληθεί η τιμωρία. Ο Ορέστης παρουσιάζεται στη συνέλευση των Αργείων, όπου επιβάλλεται τόσο σ' αυτόν όσο και στην αδερφή του η ποινή του θανάτου. Τότε, τα δυο αδέρφια με σύντροφό τους τον Πυλάδη θα καταστρώσουν ένα σχέδιο εναντίον της οικογένειας του Μενέλαου, προκειμένου να σωθούν. (EL)

'In focusing on an alleged 'moral , scholars have tended to discount the role of the exodus in the emotional melodramatic structure of 'Orestes'. But in fact the exodus fittingly concludes this exceedingly agitated and innovative play, providing an appropriate climax to Orestes' growing frustration and outrage, while building to a similar crisis the sense of a world that has gone disastrously and irrevocably awry. Betrayed on all sides, his expectations repeatedly frustrated by a world where the old rules no longer seem to apply, Orestes threatens the destruction of his ancestral palace and, with it, the entire mythical tradition associated with the house of Atreus. This most unorthodox of plays finds a fitting finale in the sheer bravoura of the scene, whose intensity presents a suitable emotional climax. To a large degree the anger and frustration of Euripides' protagonist his bitter alienation from a society corrupted by self interest and political factionalism must have spoken directly to the poet's contemporaries. Apollo, it is true, appears at the end to set things right, but the audience departs from 'Orestes' with the sense, not of a final reconciliation, but of a resentful and angry grievance against a world in chaos.'
