Sick in heart and mind, Orestes seeks refuge and healing from his sister Electra after avenging his father's death by killing his mother and her lover. Electra and Orestes are about to commit yet another murder to relieve their suffering, when the god Apollo appears unexpectedly and brings the action to an abrupt halt. Through his intervention, the vicious cycle of revenge killings that has beset the house of Atreus for generations is brought to an end.
