Orestes, a son of Agamemnon {see planet  (911)}, was a child at the time of the murder of his father. Electra {see planet  (130)} brought him to his uncle, where he lived together with his cousin Pylades. To avenge his father, Orestes killed Aegisthus and Clytaemnestra {see planet  (179)}. The Erinyen persecuted him until he was absolved by the special jury at the Areopagus. (M 40710) _ _.
