Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the new configurations that the mythical figure of Electra enters in French literary works of the 1940s. Starting from a theoretical premise concerning the most recent theory of adaptations and the concept of cultural translation, this reflection focuses on the three distinct avatars of the heroine in the theatrical works of Jean Giraudoux (Électre, 1937), Jean-Paul Sartre (Les Mouches, 1943) and Marguerite Yourcenar (Électre ou La Chute des masques, 1944).
