  1. from wikipedia "In Greek mythology, Electra (Greek:Ηλέκτρα) was a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and was a sibling to Iphigeneia, Chrysothemis and Orestes."

    all the myths about electra might be similar in the sense that they are about the same person and it's about her deeds and life - or at least about her family even

  3. I'm not sure about mutiple myths, but here is the one myth she appears in.

    Electra is a Greek princess who appears in only one Greek myth that I know of. She is the daughter of Agamemnon, the king, and Clytemnestra. After Agamemnon's brutal killing of Iphigenia, his daughter, Clytemnestra started to hate him. She acquired a lover during his time away at war, and when he came back killed him and his war prize, Trojan princess Cassandra. She and her lover also tried to kill Orestes, Agamemnon's son, but Electra saved him and met him later as an adult, where she urged him to avenge the murder of their father. He agreed and murdered Clytemnestra and her lover. Later, pursued by Furies, whose duty it is to punish any violation of the ties of family piety. Electra, however, was not hounded by the Furies. There are different stories here, but eventually he got them to leave him alone. Electra later married Pylades, Orestes' best friend.
