Eumenides by Aeschylus

Stefania Goulioti staged her own version of the third part of Aeschylus’ trilogy Eumenides at Ancient Stadium of Epidaurus. In the ensuing trial, Apollo defends Orestes, while Athena’s tie-breaking vote absolves Orestes, an act that is tantamount to the foundation of both democracy and patriarchy. The Furies ultimately appeased, transformed into Eumenides, “the kindly ones”.
