Not long ago on the sands of the island of Ithaca, Orestes, son of Agamemnon, executed his mother and returned to Mycenae to take the throne. Although he could not have done otherwise, guilt slowly drives him mad. Then his sister Electra arranges for Orestes to return to Ithaca in the hope that the wise Penelope will find a way to heal him away from the prying eyes of the Mycenaeans and Menelaus, king of Sparta, who is eager to take his nephew's throne.
Trapped between two mad kings, Penelope, Electra, and the faithful maids fight for the fate of the island in a world ruled by ruthless men, under the ironic commentary of the narrator, the goddess Aphrodite.
