Orestes

In Greek mythology, Orestes or Orestis (/ɒˈrɛstiːz/; ‹See Tfd›Greek: Ὀρέστης [oréstɛːs]) was the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and the brother of Electra. He is the subject of several Ancient Greek plays and of various myths connected with his madness, revenge, and purification, which retain obscure threads of much older works.^[1][2] In particular Orestes plays a main role in Aeschylus' Oresteia.
