And after draining you dry I will take you alive to the regions below--To pay just retribution for the pangs of a slaughtered mother.”This passage shows the way that the furies were more about he old ways of doing things and were not interested in changing their ways. But in the end of the third book, it is apparent that they have gone through a transformation and become the new Olympian gods. These gods give Orestes a chance and do not condemn him for murdering his mother. There has been a change from old to new. When the play is over, although it is the end, it is the beginning of a new way of life for both the characters in the Oresteia and the Greeks. These four different transformations all take place as the trilogy of Oresteia move along. The change is very subtle, but in the end, everything is different than it was when the play first began. For, in the beginning, it was a vengeful world full of chaos and everyone was dependent on the old gods. In the end, there is a fair justice system that was used in the trial of Orestes, in which their is a trial and a jury, and you have a feeling of harmony and peace. The new Olympian gods help to bring the characters problems to a close, before the play comes to an end. The Oresteia was a play that really captivates well the changes that were going on in the times of Ancient Greece....
