//The Furies// is the final play of the //Oresteia//, in which Orestes, Apollo, and the Erinyes go before Athena and a jury consisting of the Athenians at the Areopagus, to decide whether Orestes' murder of his mother, Clytemnestra, makes him worthy of the torment they have inflicted upon him. Athena forms a jury to judge the man's verdict. Apollo works on the behalf of Orestes, while the Erinyes make sure that he falls into their hands. When the house is divided, the deciding factor lays on the hands of the great Athena herself and she votes for Orestes' case. After a while of convincing, the Erinyes finally accept the verdict given to the man they've been chasing for so long, and from that day forth were renamed by Athena as the Eumenides or the kind ones.
