About this book

The mythical story of Orestes’s and Electra’s act of vengeance against their mother, Clytemnestra, was developed by Sophocles as well as Aeschylus and Euripides. In his tragedy, Sophocles focused on the suffering of Electra, living in isolation with her hated mother. This commentary places particular emphasis on the impact of the play’s events on the audience and references to the modern reception of the text.

Reviews

"Insgesamt aber ist ein überzeugender Einführungsband entstanden, der ausgezeichnet über das Stück, seine Kontexte, die internationale Forschung wie auch die produktive Rezeption informiert."
Martin Vöhler in: Gymnasium 125.1 (2018), pp. 63-64

"Sophocles’ Electra has long been in need of a good commentary. This new edition provides a fine introduction, text, translation, and commentary which students of the play will find most useful. [...] Schmitz’s introduction is helpful throughout. [...] warmly recommended."
P. J. Finglass in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.03.47
