The Oresteia: Eumenides

Brian, Andrea, and Brandon dive in to the final play of Aeschylus trilogy resolving the woes of house Atreus. They discuss Athene's establishment of Athens as the center for rhetorical justice as well as the passionate...and strange...arguements by the Furies and Apollo as they adjudicate between piety and matricide.
