The Eumenides
On the initiative of the Minister of Education and Culture, OELMEK, the Cyprus Students Coordinating Committee and the Ministry of Education and Culture organize the theatrical performance "The Eumenides" featuring teachers and students.
The Eumenides by Aeschylus, the final play of The Oresteia, addresses the question of Orestes' guilt. The Furies drive Orestes from Argos and into the wilderness. He makes his way to the temple of Apollo and begs him to drive the Furies away. Apollo had encouraged Orestes to kill Clytemnestra, and so bears some of the guilt for the murder. The Furies are a more ancient race of the gods, and Apollo sends Orestes to the temple of Athena, with Hermes as a guide.
