the priest's blessings of the marriage. It is a custom in Athens3 and my father is a good citizen who always follows the laws and traditions of the city. (...) They forbade the marriage entirely. (...) My father made the priests consult the oracle, and when they did, the pronouncement was; The. 0>ie.t>tz-4 known to the. god6 li not yzt boin. . . CP 102) There are some implicit values in the internal structure of Greek tragedy such as hybris and nemesis - the pride and presumption of men - which are repelled by the gods through a fatal reprisal. This is the characteristic atmosphere of Aeschylus' Oresteia. In The Prodigal there are some residual elements which can be easily identified with these Greek elements. The proud and legendary king reflects the mythological hybris although on his arrival he is indifferent to superfluous ornaments such as royal carpets. CP 34) On the other hand, it is known that the legendary king sacrificed his life, his family and even his daughter Iphigenia to build up his legend as a great general. In his rhetorical argumentations with his son, wife and Aegisthus, he always tries to make clear the unmistakable position he has reached through the conquest of Troy.

(P 51) And then if I say to you that I regret nothing, that all I have <strong>do</strong>ne deserves only praise and imitation... (P 75) Afterwards, Agamemnon puts on his armor in an attempt to rebuild his legendary image which is re- jected in reality by almost all the characters, but which continues to be real in his own mind. Agamemnon: ...Yesterday Aegisthus dealt with a weary man supported by a staff. Now we shall see how he speaks to Agamemnon. (P 71) However, his attempts to set himself above other tten are not repelled by the gods but by Orestes and more weakly by Clyternnestra. The Greek people believed that one of the func- tions of the Furies was to force sinners to leave their homes. These creatures were essentially con- cerned with the punishment of kindred blood and with 40
