XLV: Orestes & Electra, the Angriest, Best-Named Children of Greek Mythology (The Oresteia, Part 2)

This episode continues the story of Agamemnon's return home from the Trojan War, and the ramifications of his murder.
A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: Electra by Euripides, translated by John Davie, Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton, and The Greek Myths by Robin Waterfield and Kathryn Waterfield.
