Orestes, son of Agamemnon, then a child, had been rescued from the clutches of his father's murderers by his sister Electra, and sent into Phocis. Eight years later he returns to take vengeance for his father's death, and by the aid of the god Apollo, succeeds in his purpose and leaves the guilty pair dead at their own door...
