After killing her husband, Agamenon, Clitestra gives his daughter Electra to a peasant to prevent her from having noble offspring entitled to claim the throne. Electra lives with the peasant, but does not maintain relations with him, who is an honest man and does not believe he has the right to defile a woman of noble crib.

Eurípides -

In tradition, Heracles commits the crime of being a prisoner of madness, and then they begin their work in atonement, but Euripides invests order in tragedy, and it is after the work that Heracles kills his family. In this tragedy, Heracles appears more humanized, and Zeus appears as cruel and ungrateful.
