The final story of Aeschylus’ tragic trilogy, the Orestia, concerns Orestes, who is being hunted by the Furies (or Eumenides) for killing his own mother Clytemnestra to avenge the murder of his father Agamemnon. Upon catching up with Orestes, the Furies torment him until Apollo, the god of prophecy, intervenes, suggesting the Orestes be given a trial. Orestes is immediately taken to Athens for his trial, presided over by Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
