She was the heroine of many Greek tragedies. Electra is believed to have formed a plan to kill her mother and her lover, Aegisthus, in retribution for the murder of their father. She carried out the plan with the help of her brother, Orestes, whom she sent away after her father’s death in the hope that he would execute the plan.
