Comparing Agamemnon 's Clytemnestra and Electra and Agamemnon' s Electra 's mapping, Euripides and Aeschylus chose to represent Clytemnestra as a complex character. Badness is not a good thing - a sign of a complicated playwright. In Agamemnon, Clytemnestra is a sickly woman completely swallowed up by her daughter's murder case, the audience can only afford to sympathize with this woman; she can only revenge. In Electra, Clytemnestra was sacrificed by her daughter, was in a more sympathetic light, and her daughter is obsessive like her mother's desire to revenge her father's death It was moved by desire.

Euripides and Sophocles wrote their own Electra story version. The basic plot is as follows. After the return of the Trojan War, Agamemnon was killed by Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus and regained his nephew Helen from the Trojan horse. Electra and her brother Orestes killed their mother and her lover in the retribution of his death. Both authors wrote the same plot, but the story was completely different. Sophocles focuses on Orestes, but Euripides focuses more on Electra's life.
