《奧瑞斯特斯三部曲》: Agamemnon《阿格曼儂》, The Libation Bearers《祭奠者》, The Eumenides《佑護神》

第三部《佑護神》(The Eumenides)中，最後奧瑞斯特(Orestes)殺母罪行的解除，但是為了處理對他的控告的智慧女神雅典娜(Athena)建立了法庭陪審團制度。對復仇女神(Furies)控告他殺母的滔天大罪，雅典娜帶領了由十二個公民組成的陪審團來審判。在智慧女神雅典娜的主持之下，建立了公立的法庭和陪審制度，私人間的仇恨從此由法院審判，不能繼續自行了斷。復仇女神本來不服，但在智慧女神耐心的勸導與寬厚的讓步下，使這些原來專為死者伸冤復仇的女神，終於改變成仁慈的佑護之神（本來該劇名Eumenides的原意就是Kind Spirits），他們可以協助維持家庭和國家的秩序和正義。同時雅典娜女神的看法和決定也可看出作者艾斯奇勒斯的愛國情操。由復仇之神轉變成佑獲之神，也象徵著一切都可以以公平、公正的審判來代替「以牙還牙」和私人長期血拼的傳統。因此開啟了一個嶄新的文明的時代。
