	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About The Eumenides
		The Eumenides is the third part of Aeschylus' great trilogy, the Oresteia.
		In the case of The Eumenides, the Chorus is constituted by the Eumenides or Furies, primal monster-goddesses who pursue Orestes for the crime of matricide.
		The Eumenides are even more essential than the other choruses of the trilogy; after a certain point, the play becomes their story.

		The final play in the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus’ Oresteian trilogy, The Eumenides (sometimes called The Furies or The Kindly Ones) brings to an end the curse on the house of Atreus that began before the events in the first play, Agamemnon, and continued through the middle play, The Libation Bearers.
		Central to The Eumenides is not whether Orestes is guilty or innocent of matricide.
		Perhaps because The Eumenides is where the complex of ideas of justice and revenge are resolved, I found it to be the most difficult read of the three plays in The Orestia.

		Of all Athenian tragic dramas, Eumenides is most consciously designed to be relevant to the situation of the Athenian state at the time of its performance (458 B.C.) and seems to have contained daring innovations both in technique and in ideas.
		The climax of "The Eumenides" is rather strange for a Greek tragedy, since it ends on an exalted note of reconciliation and optimism.
		Aeschylus' The Eumenides is the third part of the Orestia Trilogy, recounting the murder of king Agamemnon and the blood bath that comes afterward.

		She also praises the power of rhetoric, “who guided the speech of [her] mouth toward these, when they [the Eumenides] were reluctant and wild” (971-972).
		The necessary deterrent that is fear is the ascribed task of the Eumenides, and is analogous to the task the police force has today.
		The Eumenides represents the subordination of the old to the new in a growing society, a process that all civilizations undergo as older traditions are replaced duly with the flux of additional knowledge and information.

	The Oresteia
		One of the things the Eumenides is a charter myth: it gives a mythical explanation for why Athenian murder trials were conducted by a court that met on the small hill near the Acropolis known at the Areopagus, or Hill of Ares.
		And the punishment of murderers meets the need for what we would today call "victims' rights." But vengeance itself is hardly a satisfying solution, for the relatives, now themselves killers, will themselves be pursued by relatives of their victim: we have an unending cycle of violence.
		The Eumenides are given red robes to wear–as would have been worn by the people taking part in the procession.

		To look at the tragedy of the House of Atreus is to elucidate an aspect of man’s condition, the impulse to create and necessity to effect justice.
		Should the city, should the man rear a heart that nowhere goes in fear, how shall one any more respect the right?” (The Eumenides, 517-25) Fear and justice or born of each other, and it is through this relationship that we come to understand the endless tragedy of this story.
		They explain their sense of justice: “You must give back for her blood from the living man red blood of your body...” (The Eumenides, 264-5) It is exactly this sentiment which man is now learning to abandon.

		This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol.
		Of all the works of Aeschylus the strongest in dramatic force is the Oresteia, a series consisting of the Agamemnon, the Choëphoræ (or Libation Bearers) and the Eumenides, the only one of his trilogies that has come down to us.
		It was probably the last that he exhibited at Athens, and upon it he seems to have lavished all the splendors of his genius, that he might leave to his fellow citizens something worthy of his country and himself.

	Ethics of Greek Theatre by Sanderson Beck
		In The Eumenides Orestes has taken refuge at the Delphic temple, where Apollo is defending him and has made the Furies sleep; but the ghost of Clytemnestra appears to awaken them.
		As the Furies feel their hatred going, they become the Eumenides, the gracious ones who will win the hearts of others.
		Finally the Eumenides pray there be no civil war ruining people with revenge for bloodshed, but grace for grace and common love, healing the wrongs in the world.

		Unfortunately, this action clashes with the justice of the older deities (the killing of a blood-relation, one's mother, is an act that must be paid for, whilst the killing of a husband, not a blood-relation, according to the Furies, is of no consequence), and the play ends with Orestes fleeing from the Furies.
		In the final play, The Eumenides (meaining 'Kindly Ones', a strange alternative name for the Furies) we find Orestes appealing to Apollo to help him - after all, Apollo was the one who told him to kill his mother.

		[04] The Erinnyes, the Eumenides, and the Furies were fulfillments of curses, born of blood and roused from hell.
		The kindly nature of the Eumenides is shown when Orpheus goes to the underworld to implore the deities to restore his wife Eurydice to life.
		[25] Upon reflection, the transformation of the Erinnyes into the Eumenides were remarkably similar to the change of Xena from a stern vengeful warrior (she was avenging the attacks of Amphipolis) to a benevolent guardian, available for service to help those in need.

		Professor Sommerstein here presents a freshly constituted text, with introduction and commentary, of Eumenides, the climactic play of the only surviving complete Greek tragic trilogy, the Oresteia of Aeschylus.
		Eumenides is of all Athenian tragic dramas the one most consciously designed to be relevant to the situation of the Athenian state at the time of its performance (458 BC), and seems to have contained daring innovations both in technique and in ideas.
		The introduction and commentary to this edition seek to bring out how Aeschylus shaped to his purpose the legends he inherited, and ended the tragic story of Agamemnon's family in a celebration of Athenian civic unity and justice.

		Parallel to the Eumenides-Orcus, and skirting the north shore of the Sea of the Sirens, is the Erynnis.

		The best known of their sacred caves is the one on the Athenian Acropolis, which was also called a temple of the fearful Erinyes.
		This was not confusion or an attempt to flatter the darker Goddesses, but a recognition that just as the Eumenides emanated from Gaea (or Nyx) and were friendly and helpful when the laws of the mothers were respected, they became angry and frightening when those same laws were broken.
		Although no list of names has been given for the Eumenides, the Erinyes were: Alekto 'the unspeakable' or possibly 'the voiceless one,' Megaera 'anger' or 'vengeance,' and Tisiphone 'avenger of blood.' They carried swords and whips, and Tisiphone in particular wore a long cloak dyed blood red.

	SparkNotes: Agamemnon: Context
		Agamemnon is the first of a trilogy, the Oresteia, the other two parts of which are The Libation-Bearers and The Eumenides.
		The trilogy--the only such work to survive from Ancient Greece--is considered by many critics to be the greatest Athenian tragedy ever written, because of its poetry and the strength of its characters.
		In The Eumenides, Orestes is pursued by the Furies in punishment for his matricide, and finally finds refuge in Athens, where the god Athena relieves him of his persecution.

	Literature in a Criminal Law Course
		Summoned by the ghost of Clytaemnestra, the Furies commence The Eumenides as the embodiment of private revenge, which they recognize as a never-ending cycle: “Man to man foresees his neighbor’s torments,/ groping to cure his own--/ poor wretch, there is no cure, no use,/ the drugs that ease him speed the next attack.”
		The subordination of the Eumenides to the court is reflected in the new home they assume, at Athena's request: a cave in Areopagus, the hill on top of which the court sits.
		As an introduction to criminal law, The Eumenides allows discussion of why criminal law developed, what its goals are, who constitute its principal players, and how one of those players, the judge, at some point must compromise criminal law's goals in order to achieve other worthy ends.

		The Chorus does not listen, but Athena keeps on, and we have another foundation legend for the cult of the Eumenides on the Acropolis, next to the shrine of Erechtheus, the holiest spot in Athens (top 176).
		Earlier we saw Agamemnon go to his death on a red carpet, and become wrapped in a red robe as he is butchered in the tub by Clytemnestra, and then Orestes, after he killed his mother, displayed that very red robe.
