A variant of the legend is told in Sophocles' Electra of C.418-410 BCE. After the murder of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra was plagued by disturbing dreams and ordered her daughter Chrysothemis to offer libations at Agamemnon's tomb. This inflamed her other daughter, Electra, who was determined to avenge her father's murder. When Orestes and Pylades reached Argos they sent out a false report of Orestes' death. Electra, who had been awaiting Orestes' arrival to exact revenge, now decided to kill Clytemnestra and Aegisthus herself and tried llilsuccessfully to persuade Chrysothemis to join her. However, before she could act Orestes and Pylades entered the palace and performed the executions. Euripides' Electra} composed during the same period, follows a similar story line with slight variations, including Electra's marriage (to a poor farmer, to ensure that she would bear no son with a claim to the throne) and her equal participation with Orestes in the murder of Clytemnestra. 
The Orestes of Euripides, composed in 408 BeE, plays yet another variation on the theme. Orestes was driven nearly mad by the Furies, and both he and EleCtra we~e sentenced to death by the citizens 'of Argos for killing Clytemnestra. Agamemnon's brother Menelaus, returning from Troy with his wife, Helen, arrived in Argos and assumed the regency but refused to aid his kin. With the support of Pylades, Orestes and Electra then tried to kill Helen; when she miraculously vanished they took her daughter Hermione hostage and set the palace afire. Amid the confusion Apollo appeared, explaining that Helen had been carried to heaven and that Orestes was destined to be tried and acquitted at Athens, to be married to Hermione, and to become ruler of Argos. 
Orestes also appears in Euripides'Iphigenia in Tauris} which records the liberation of Iphigenia from the land of the Tauri, where Orestes had been sent to steal a statue of Artemis as a means of expiation. 
As a child, Orestes had been betrothed by Agamemnon to Hermione, daughter of Menelaus and Helen. This pledge was broken at Troy when Menelaus promised Hermione to Neoptolemus (Pyrrhus), son of Achilles. After returning from Tauris, OresteS killed Neoptolemus at Delphi and reclaimed Hermione. Orestes ruled Argos for seventy years and upon his death received divine honors.
