    Klassika Eikonographimena #263 - Aischylus, Oresteia 3 The Eumenides

    Uploaded by

    hisncp50
    The Greek Classic Illustrated edition of the third Oresteian play, "The Eumenides" (The Good-spirited, or Kindly Ones)addresses the question of Orestes' guilt. The Furies drive Orestes from Argos and into the wilderness. He makes his way to the temple of Apollo and begs Apollo to drive the Furies away. Apollo had encouraged Orestes to kill Clytemnestra, so he bears some of the guilt for the murder. Apollo sends Orestes to the temple of Athena with Hermes as a guide. The Furies track him down, and Athena steps in and declares that a trial is necessary. Apollo argues Orestes' case, and after the judges (including Athena) deliver a tie vote, Athena announces that Orestes is acquitted. She renames the Furies THE EUMENIDES ('the Kindly Ones," - the play's title), and extols the importance of reason in the development of laws. As in The Suppliants, the ideals of a democratic Athens are praised.
