- Title
Orestes and Oedipus: Differences, Similarities, Contaminations.
- Authors
Cesereanu, Ruxandra
- Abstract
Greek tragedy launched many heroes (and anti-heroes), two of which are particularly remarkable through their strenuous and perilous glory: Oedipus and Orestes. Although at first sight the two masculine characters are each other's obverse facet, the twentieth century managed (albeit rarely) to contaminate and relate them partially, at least insofar as Eugene O'Neill's Mourning becomes Electra and the lesser known Orestes & Oedipus by French author Olivier Apert are concerned.
