Electra
The anagnorisis scene in which the Old Man's scar-token proves Orestes's identity to a skeptical Electra, leading to their reunion.
A scar along his brow, where he fell and drew blood one day in his father’s home when chasing a fawn with you.
O you who have appeared at last, I hold you, beyond all hope.
