Electra complex

A female high schooler was found having  sexual relations with five bus drivers.  A hospital doctor claimed the young female student’s abnormal practices are reflective of Electra complex.

Electra complex is an incestuous desire of a daughter for her father. Electra in Greek mythology, a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, urged her brother Orestes to kill both his mother and her lover.

Agamemnon, one of the Greek heroes defeating the Trojans, returning to his country Mycenae.  Clytemnestra still incensed at Agamemnon’s sacrifice of her daughter Iphigenia along with his lover Aegisthus murdered her husband while he was bathing after a long journey home.  To protect her brother Orestes, Electra sent him away. Some time later when Orestes was grown up, he retured to avenge his father’s death.
