Laurel Bowman, “Klytaimnestra’s Dream: Prophecy in Sophocles’ Electra,” Phoenix 51 no. 2 (1998) [The use of prophecy in Sophocles’ Elektra emphasizes the play’s primarily political theme, the transfer of power from father to son. The lack of direct reference to Klytaimnestra in Apollo’s oracle, and Klytaimnestra’s absence from her own prophetic dream are mirrored in her exclusion and Electra’s from the political activity of the play, and give prominence to the actions of the males, Orestes and Aegisthus.]
