The last tragedy of the Oresteia, the Eumenides begins at a climactic moment for the house of Atreus: Orestes has killed his mother Clytemnestra to avenge the murder of his father Agamemnon and is persecuted by the Furies, wild and relentless female goddesses who punish those who have killed a relative.
Apollo is Orestes' defender. In Athens, on the Areopagus, before the goddess Athena, a trial is held in which the rights of the mother and the father, of the feminine and the masculine, are compared with two points of view that still often clash today.
