Valerian II, Caesar, Early 256 - 258 A.D., Side, Pamphylia
|Side|, |Valerian| |II,| |Caesar,| |Early| |256| |-| |258| |A.D.,| |Side,| |Pamphylia|, Athena, in addition to being the Greek goddess of Wisdom, is goddess of many things, among them law and justice. In Aeschylus’ tragedy "The Eumenides." Orestes is pursued to Athens by the vengeful Erinyes for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra. Athena intervenes and sets up a jury of twelve Athenians to judge Orestes. Athena herself presides over the trial, instructing her citizens to watch and learn how a trial should be conducted. Apollo speaks on behalf of Orestes, while the Erinyes act as advocates for the dead Clytemnestra. The vote is a tie, but Athena persuades the Erinyes to accept her own decision in favor of Orestes as the casting vote.
