While there are a few adaptations of Electra’s portrayal in Greek mythology, the common thread in her story is that of her resolve. After the death of her father Agamemnon, her determination to requite his murder in the face of great adversity is enduring. Hence her story is often recalled as testament to her strength and loyalty in the unwavering pursuit of justice. The name Electra itself from the Greek Elektra means “radiance” or “the bright one”.
