After the murder of Agamemnon by Klytaimnestra, the 

 latter gave her daughter in marriage to a poor farmer, and 

 closed the doors of her palace to Elektra and Orestes. Kly- 

 taimnestra is afterwards summoned to the country, the mes- 

 senger alleging that Elektra has just been delivered of her 

 first-born. At v. 998 the queen arrives in grand style with 

 her attendants before the humble cottage of Elektra. She 

 here meets the daughter, who immediately accuses her 

 mother of banishing Orestes and herself from the palace of 

 their murdered father. This causes Klytaimnestra to enter 

 into a long argument in defence of herself, to which Elektra 

 replies.
