Thesis (Ph.D.)--McMaster University (Canada), 2005.
This thesis applies our knowledge of the popular ritual lament as a phenomenon whose main characteristics have endured from antiquity to the present in the Greek and wider Mediterranean world to a reassessment of Electra as a principal character in the story of the return and revenge of Orestes in 5th century Athenian tragedy. The study takes account of the historical-anthropological literature that describes the functional role of lamentation, particularly in societies where the revenge ethic thrives either as the only available method of justice taking, or parallel to an official judicial system. The Greek king Agamemnon who had commanded the Greek forces against Troy returns home from the war to be murdered by his wife and her paramour. Electra, as Agamemnon's daughter, exists in 5th century Athenian tragedy to devote her entire existence to lamenting the murder of her father and keeping the memory of it publicly alive until the time when her brother returns home to act as his avenger. Anthropologists show us that this is a social obligation of female kin in these circumstances, and application of this knowledge of how female lament functions in a revenge society adds significantly to our understanding of Electra in the three plays in which she is central in the revenge by the great 5th century tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.
