After the king's murder, his daughter lives humiliated in her mother's household while the killer rules and marries her off to a lowly farmer to prevent heirs; she remains faithful to her father's memory. Her brother returns in secret with a loyal companion, recognizes her, and they conspire to avenge their father's death. With help from an old servant they lure and kill the usurper and their mother. The play then follows the moral and communal aftermath as divine vengeance pursues the avengers until appearing divine figures order marriages and mandate the brother's trial at Athens, promising legal resolution.
