The Eumenides is the third of the linked plays that brings Aeschylus' The Oresteia to an end. Orestes is pursued by the Furies after he slays his mother, & the voice in his ear doling out advice comes from Apollo, who both encouraged Orestes to kill his mother & now tells him to purify himself of his mother's blood. Wise Athena shows up, the Furies are made to consider, & democracy & the process of justice start to take shape. An engrossing finale
