Question
A 1,000-hexameter epic titled for this character’s “Tragoedia” (“tra-GOI-dee-ah”) is ascribed to Dracontius of Carthage. This person’s skeleton is reported to be 7 cubits long by Herodotus. In one play, an old tutor gives a messenger speech that claims that this person has died in a chariot race. This character says that looking after him is “rotten work” to a friend with whom he plots to bring an urn containing his own supposed ashes in a Sophocles play. During a ritual, this character’s sister recognizes his (*) footprints and a lock of his hair. In another play, Athena breaks a tie by voting to acquit this character during his trial at the Areopagus of Athens. In one series, this character is pursued by Furies after plotting a murder with his sister Electra. For 10 points, name this man who kills his mother Clytemnestra in a namesake trilogy by Aeschylus. ■END■
