    You forgot the most important part. Following this trial, Athena encouraged the Eumenides to rebrand themeselves as the Semnai (venerable ones) and to act as godesses of justice instead of vengeance. From that point on, they stop repaying blood for blood indiscriminately, only punishing the worst ofenders while granting mercy to those who deserved it. It is meant to exemplisy the fondation of the Athenian justice system.

      It is something to see him put aside old grudges. Especially since his quarrel was mostly with Achilles and Patroclus.
      Still the fact he stepped in for Orestes all the same, and mentioned how his father restored the honor of Greece which was besmirched by the Trojans.

      They aren’t, they are the sisters of Aphrodite born from the blood of Kronos castration while she was born of his genitals turned to sea foam. It’s why they were even feared by the Olympians and why they could not easily be called off as they outranked the new gods as deities from the old gods

      @stevied3400 Рік тому +3

      The ancients didn’t operate in those terms. Sexism is a modern critique that had no bearing on the moral of any ancient myth. The moral of most Greek myths centered around the theme of hubris vs. piety.
