Electra

Orestes and Pylades enter the house and slay his mother Clytemnestra. As Aegisthus returns home, they quickly put her corpse under a sheet and present it to him as the body of Orestes. He lifts the veil to discover who it really is, and Orestes then reveals himself. They escort Aegisthus off set to be killed at the hearth, the same location Agamemnon was slain. The play ends here, before the death of Aegisthus is announced.

The story of Orestes' revenge was told at the end of the lost epic Nostoi, and the events are also brought up in the Odyssey. It was a popular subject in Greek tragedies, and there are existing versions from all three of the great Athenian tragedians. The first and largest is the Libation Bearers in the Oresteia Trilogy by Aeschylus. Euripides wrote an Electra play. He tells a very different version of this same basic story as Sophocles despite them being written in proximity and time.
