"The Eumenides (also known as The Furies) is the final play of the Oresteia trilogy. Orestes and the Furies go before a jury of Athenians, the Areiopagos, or, Rock of Ares, a flat rocky hill by the Athenian forum where the supreme criminal court of Athens held its sessions, to decide whether Orestes' murder of his mother, Clytemnestra, makes him liable for the torment they have inflicted upon him."
