The Judgment of Athena in Oresteia

However, in any conflict, at least one person needs to be sacrificed in order to reach a solution. Athena achieved her self contradictory result by misleading Apollo getting all verdict verdict and paying damages to Erinyes. Athea first discussed Apollo's argument about patriarchal superiority, but she forgave a compromise and did not fully acknowledge that the murder of Kretenestra was morally justified.

Aeschylus is focused on the essence of justice. In the trilogy of The Oresteia, Akhaians evolved from the older, more primitive form of authoritarian justice to the concept of new civil justice designed by Athena. He is facing the serious moral problems brought about by the old and new order, the lives of Atlas families, and the crimes of Orestes.

At the end of Aeschylus' Orsteia there were two changes in the city of Athens. One is famous and another tends to be overlooked. In the famous transformation Athena introduced a legislative system to replace and end the cycle of blood revenge. She established a court of established evidence and proof-of-procedure as well as the jury chosen by the Athenian Citizen Group, and she now decides to solve the sin of blood rather than the revenge of the ancient goddess Nemesis We announced that we will pass the law. However, the nemesis is not just fired. Instead, Athena told them to participate in the city and persuade them to give ground honors to make them aware of the importance of the city to their health.
