The unnamed Mycenaean farmer from Electra is Electra's husband. The farmer has not, however, consummated their marriage out of respect for Electra's position. He asks Electra not to work, but she insists on giving the farmer a nice house. Orestes promises to repay the kindly farmer for his kind treatment toward Electra.
