Keywords:

Oresteia, Erinyes, tragedy, philosophy, Dike

Abstract

The Oresteia’s main themes are the conflict between Dike and Dike and the canonization of the past, based on the sacred and eternal value of the dead. These two trends aim towards a balanced reconciliation based on the logos; however, they leave the grief of female humanity unsolved and unrevenged.
