Is the last sentence ("Woe's me! Then are we utterly undone!") really from Electra or is it from Clytemnestra?
In this other source, the text is said by the mother, Clytemnestra...

The original Greek text does not indicate which lines are spoken by which characters. Each editor or translator has their own interpretation of the text and assigns lines differently according to that interpretation. There are many texts written on the interpretation of Greek drama. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:48, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
