Question
This character’s sister is burned with cigarettes after refusing to give away his location in Yaël ("yah-EL") Farber’s post-apartheid play Molora. The title group of another play threatens to poison the soil after this character exits the stage, having just encouraged a city to wield the “spear of victory” against its enemies. In a 20th-century play, while women carry funeral urns to a statue of Zeus, this character introduces himself under the alias Philebus. This character devises a blood (*) tribute to Zeus in a play in which he interprets himself as a snake in his mother’s dream. Athena renames the Furies after she casts the tie-breaking vote at this character’s trial for murdering his mother, Clytemnestra. For 10 points, name this son of Agamemnon, the namesake of a trilogy of Greek tragedies by Aeschylus. ■END■
