I think he liked the name and just used it. No one attached to it.

Elektra is a daughter of Atlas. With Zeus, she is mythical founder of the Trojan race.

Sophocles wrote a fairly famous play an "Electra" who avenged her father.

It's an opera as well. smile

See, the name "Elektra" means "bright light."

This king is corrupt. The light is searching for him, but he doesn't see it.

wow its cool that Prince put that much thought into the song
and didnt just pick Elektra cause it sounded pretty


I thought Elektra was the girl who lusted after her father
like Oedipus wanted his mother boxed

With her brother, she avenged her father's death by killing her mother.

An Elektra complex is the female version of the Oedipus complex.
