After ten years of Trojan War, Idomeneo finally returns home victorious. Some of his troops have already returned and brought with them Trojan prisoners, including Ilia, daughter of the late King Priam. Upon his return from the war, Agamemnon, another victorious Greek king, is killed by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover Egisto. Elettra's brother Orestes has avenged her father's death by killing both her mother and her lover. Elettra, an orphan like Ilia, has taken refuge in Crete, where she has fallen in love with Idomeneo's son, Idamante, who has been ruling in the absence of his father.
