[ noun ] (Greek mythology) the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra; his sister Electra persuaded him to avenge Agamemnon's death by killing Clytemnestra and Aegisthus <noun.person>
The other governors calling for the changes are Orestes Quercia of Sao Paulo, Brazil's wealthiest and most industrialized state, and Newton Cardoso, of Minas Gerais, a central mining state.
Apollo here is a trivial joker, who would hardly be capable of sending Orestes off to kill Clytemnestra since he is too busy making cheap comments about the jury and flirting with Athena.
