Eumenides

In Eumenides Orestes cries out to the god Apollo for guidance. The god appears and tells him to seek justice at the temple of Athena, the goddess of justice, in Athens. Orestes travels to Athens, still pursued by the Eumenides. Athena herself appears, listens to their respective stories and creates a panel of human judges (the Aeropagus) to hear and judge the case. When the vote of the Aeropagus turns out to be a tie, Athena casts the final vote-in favor of Orestes, who is freed from the torturous pursuit of the Eumenides. He proclaims his intention to live out his days peacefully and then leaves. Athena persuades the Eumenides to accept a less vicious and hostile place in the pantheon of the gods and in the process of seeking justice and then names the Aeropagus as her earthly representatives, the embodiment of ultimate human justice in the world.
