Treece's Electrareveals more than the private lives of Electra and Agamemnon, of Clytemnestra and Orestes. Written from Electra's point of view, it shows in action the many forces which contributed at last to the downfall of Mycenae's brilliant culture, and the coming of the Dorian Dark Age which was to last for five hundred years and more.
