Note 582 — Chapter V · THE DEMONOLOGY OF GHOSTS AND SPRITES AND BOGEYS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
A master-touch from the point of view of Aeschylus, who is all for the new order. It is however impossible to avoid a regret that he stooped to the cheap expedient of blackening the Erinyes as representatives of the old. He thereby half alienates our sympathies. See ‘Delphika,’ J.H.S. XIX. 1899, p. 251.
