Motifs in the Greek Afterlife in Jean and Jean-Pierre Giraudoux

Abstract

The transmission of Greek tragedies and their classical tradition has cultivated and sustained the Atreides dinasty, and especially the phase in which the revenge for Agamemnon’s death and the restauration of the power into his son Orestes occurs. The aim of this study is to analyze the particularly relevant theme of the Greek Afterlife in two Electras, the first one by Jean Giraudoux and the second one by his son Jean- Pierre Giraudoux, in which the relationship with the dead father and the motifs this one inspires become essential.
