I recall that the reason Athena was so persuaded by Apollo's argument is because she herself was born from Zeus, with no mother of her own.

Fun Fact: This play was performed in 408 B.C. and one guy who played Orestes messed up SO famously, that multiple famous greek poets shamed him for it. While Orestes is being tormented by the furies, he believes his sister is gonna kill him, but then he gets a hold of himself and says, “After a storm, again I see a calm sea.” But the actor instead said, “After a storm again, I see a weasel.” Way to go, Hegelochus. 👏👏

What are you trying to say Orestes was wrong? It's a Greek tragedy no one is innocent and everyone has fervent vices. I like the character of Agamemnon despite disagreeing with many of his tenets and values. Mainly because he is almost always forced to interact with punishments and issues brought forth by the gods/omnipotent supernaturalism almost like a curse. In which human choices are very limited. I think it's unfair to pick sides on characters based off your moral compass besides that of resonating. If we wanna be honest Clytememstra and Aegisthes were just as evil and good characters as Agamemnon. Orestes and Electra seemed to have less characteristics of hubris, lack of humility, hate, and bitterness as the generation before them. I seriously don't get these weird Ass comments trying to paint the Ancient Greeks as evil savages as if The Trojans, Roman's and albeit any other civilization didn't have massive flaws and cultural/societal vices.

@neutronalchemist3241 4 года назад

That's only Aeschylus' version of the mith. According to Euripides, Orestes and Electra were condemned to death by a court in Mycenae and saved by the intervent of Menelaus, that persuaded (or forced at swordpoint) the Myceneans to give them a year of exile instead. It was not game over however, since Orestes was still persecuted by the furies and ,in order to escape them, he was ordered by Apollo to go to Tauris, carry off the statue of Artemis which had fallen from heaven, and to bring it to Athens. In Tauris Orestes found his lost sister, Iphigenia, taken away from sacrifice by Artemis and rised as one of his priestess, was saved by her, and returned with her and the statue to Mycenae, so reuniting what was left of the family and finally being freed from the persecution. There are other versions as well. Aeschylus' turned it into an advertising for Athen's legal system. Even if the goal was not much to declare the inferiority of the mother over the father (mind that half of the jury did not agree, even with Apollo as the defense attorney), but that, as the Romans would have said "in dubio pro reo", when the votes of the judges are evenly divided, mercy must prevail.

@samrevlej9331 4 года назад

@Lonestareconomics Let's avoid using the word "progressive" when talking about anything prior to the 18th century, at least in the modern sense. Euripides didn't parade with "Give women more rights" amphoras in the agora; he was just less of a blatant mysoginist than Aeschylus. Progressivism is a modern concept, born with the Enlightenment (in the West, I mean). Ancient historical or mythological figures may have traits or do things that seem progressive to us, from our contemporary standpoint, but the criteria at the time weren't at all the same; thus, it's just as incorrect to call Euripides "progressive" as it is to call a medieval king "patriotic" or "nationalist". Those concepts or labels just didn't exist at the time and people's mindsets didn't include the thought process behind them.

@Scarshadow666 4 года назад

@@samrevlej9331 I can see that, especially since keeping in mind our ability to have contemporary discussions about progressivism involve improvements in technology and improving time/cultural gaps when communicating long distances. While a lot of ancient times aren't really that out of the loop with technological pursuits, such as many cultures had long been into studies of astronomy and math, the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution were huge steps compared to most ancient studies in Western culture(such as how blood-letting is thankfully no longer the catch-all cure for everyone as it used to be). I guess most people tend to compare historical figures with modern stuff to help establish a human connection in some way to people long gone and distant, so that they'd feel like real people that existed (or, in the case of mythology, an understanding on how ancient people observed the world around them). It's built into us as humans to apply traits we connect to due to our intelligence as a species being high enough to recognize patterns (part of why anthropomorphism and animism being a thing). I should give a heads up that this is mostly me theorizing based on what little history/psychology/social science that I know/heard of.

@Sammathnar 3 года назад

@Wind Rose Sparta alone was much less mysogenistic than Athens, which is the most natural comparisson. As has been mentioned in comments on this video even, mothers were considered of equal rank as warriors due to their importance in society, Spartan women owned their own property even in marriage, and could inherit. Looking at inheritance law are often very informative about womens' place in society, a since it usually either allows them to own property or makes them property. Naturally, Spartan women are described in sources as mannish, rude, willful and promiscious, which usually means they had a lot of freedom compared to other contemporary societies. So when we say Athens was particuarly mysogenistic, it is in comparisson to other societies which it is natural to compare them, not compared to modern day Europe. Of course, most if not all ancient societies were much more mysogynistic than most modern societies, but it is not more than 150 years since women got full property rights in for instance Britain, which is again is a good indicator of how society sees women.

@LittleMissRequiem 4 года назад

Dick Francesco To be fair, Apollo’s attitude toward motherhood in this story is the complete polar opposite of his portrayal in the story of Niobe. In that story, during a festival in Thebes in honor of Leto, Niobe gets all pissy that people are honoring Leto instead of her, and goes on to boast that she herself is superior to Leto who only had 2 children as opposed to Niobe’s 14. Apollo and Artemis were so pissed off that they proceeded to kill all of Niobe’s sons and daughters respectively, and in some versions Apollo takes it a step further by killing Niobe’s husband as well when he tried to avenge the children’s deaths. So based on what we see of Apollo in both stories, I’m inclined to guess that maybe his attitude toward motherhood isn’t so much “moms don’t matter” but rather “moms only matter if they’re goddesses/heroes and/or if their children are gods/heroes; if they’re plain old mortals with plain old mortal offspring, not so much’.

There are some cool extra details about Cassandra - previously, she had had sex with Apollo (it was kind of probably rape, depending on who's telling the story) and she pushed Apollo out of her before he could climax, so, he cursed her to the fate that she reaches in the Oresteia, which is part of why she knows what's happening. Given Apollo's role in the end and his argument that women are not required for life, and only helpful as nurses (emphasized by the repression of the aggressive furies into the passive nurse-like eumenides), with Athena as a prime example since she was born out of Zeus' head, the Oresteia is essentially the story of how Apollo got upset that a woman denied him giving his seed, so he orchestrated this entire plot that resulted in officially removing all women from their perceived role in reproduction and establishing a strict, governmentally enforced, patriarchy.

I don't know, the situation is also more subtle. Agamemnon is also an archetype of a ruler who is forces with impossible choices, such as destroy his family or see his ambitious expedition fail and his influence as well as the status of Mycenae wane; to abandon both his family and his homeland for many years in order to achieve and lead an alliance of many neighbouring city-states. In general Agamemnon is placed in situations of conflicting interests.

@scottgrey3337 3 года назад

Having only read *Agamemnon* (the first third of The Oresteai) I'm not actually surprised that the result is a court system. Here me out. My interpretation of Agamemnon's murder (which is hardly infallible) is that everything was complicated. Agamemnon is goaded into an act of hubris right before his murder, possibly undermining him as innocent or blameless, while Clytemnestra's avenging of Iphegenia seems to be an ambigiously justified act, but one that will still require punishment. It's also important to note that Aegisthus (the evil step-father) is from a family of victims of Agamemnon's father, and though the play doesn't dwell on it, certain tellings are gruesome (read: forced cannibalism). With all of that in mind, the general theme seems to be that killing in vengeance is understandable, but will require punishment and provoke someone else to seek vengeance on you in turn. In a way it's wrangling with the idea that doing nothing isn't justice, but taking violent action into your own hands will make you guilty in turn and perpetuate a cycle of violence. This problem is brought to a head by Orestes, who despite supposedly doing his duty and avenging his father by killing his mother (who in turn was avenging her daughter) is still guilty of matricide. You might say the court thing handwaves that away, but I'd like to point out that a) the literal divine intervention of two sympathetic gods and b) his mother being evil and a murderer still resulted in him being exonerated *by a single vote*. It sounds to me like the story was trying to reconcile the obligation to avenge a murdered family member with the concept that murder is wrong and familicide is unconditionally not okay. *Which is why the court exists* . It provides an alternative to killing that still punishes wrongdoers and breaks the cycle of violence where a killer must be killed to avenge the victim. This all may very well have roots (even unconsciously) in the "eye-for-an-eye" justice that most legal systems replace, and is showing how a court can a) provide an alternative to what started all of this, Agamemnon's murder, and b) end the bloody cycle of revenge by exonerating Orestres. tl;dr I could totally see this being a long-winded way of saying "Aren't you glad we have courts to solve these problems rather than murdering people?".

@washingbubble1780 6 лет назад

The reason why no one listened to Cassandra was because she refused to sleep with Apollo...I think

@insidetheheadofme 5 лет назад

Cassandra would grow up to become the most beautiful of all of King Priam’s daughters and as a result she had many potential suitors, both mortal and immortal. Zeus was of course well known for keeping an eye out for beautiful mortals, but in the case of Cassandra it was actually his son Apollo who vied for the daughter of Priam; and in the most common version of the Cassandra myth, it is Apollo who enables Cassandra to see into the future. In this version of the story, Apollo, smitten with the beauty of Cassandra, attempts to seduce the mortal princess. To help sway Cassandra, Apollo offers up the gift of prophecy, a gift which Cassandra willingly accepts. Having accepted the gift though, Cassandra then rebuts the sexual advances of Apollo. A spurned Apollo could have simply taken Cassandra’s new ability away from her, but in an act of vengeance, Apollo instead decides to curse the woman who spurned him. Thus, from that day on, Cassandra’s prophecies would always come to pass, but no one would ever believe her predictions. Courtesy: www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/cassandra.html

The fury in the suit is adorable! She just has a little smile and looks so proud of herself.

In another version of this tale though, even after Orestes is proven innocent, the Furies still went after him and he's told by the Oracle to get a statue of Artemis, but it was where people killed strangers by sacrificing them. Orestes was about to be killed by the priestess there only to discover that it's Iphigenia, who saves him and helps him get the statue to remove his family's curse. Yeah in some versions, Iphigenia was saved by Artemis herself to be a priestess for her and incognito put in a deer to be sacrifice without anyone knowing.
