Description du livre
Called upon to judge a painful affair bordering on the unspeakable, the Eumenides, guardians of destiny and divine law, delve into a tapestry of moral conflict, where blood calls for blood and the shadows of the past mingle with the aspirations of an unknown future. In the third and final chapter of the Oresteia, we see Orestes, son of Agamemnon, persecuted by the Furies for the murder of his mother Clytemnestra. With a masterpiece of introspection and catharsis, Aeschylus not only narrates the lives of men and gods, but offers a profound reflection on the themes of humanity, guilt and redemption. The Eumenides, in their sublime and terrible form, invite us to explore the shadows of our souls, leading us to a higher understanding of the laws that govern the world.
