" This work begins with a priestess observing one character who had "drawn his sword, but held an olive branch" also.
Legend has it that a pregnant woman died during the first appearance of the title characters in the first production of this play. One group of characters in this work see "Earth's navel, defiled with blood, corrupted, stained with guilt." That group is told by one with a "mind for subtleties" "no one should use oaths to let injustice triumph." This work begins with a priestess observing one character who had "drawn his sword, but held an olive branch" also. The (*) humming produced by the title figures as they move from being asleep to wakefulness occurs before the setting is changed to the Areopagus. At the end of this play, one figure concludes that a deadlocked jury should always acquit, once that figure, Athena, has decided that Clytemnestra's death was justified. For 10 points, identify this play named after the newfound role the Furies have taken, the final volume in the Oresteia. [Ike]
