Page "The Flies" Paragraph 5

Orestes and Electra unite and eventually resolve to kill Aegisthus and Clytemnestra.

Zeus visits Aegisthus to tell him of Orestes's plan and convince him to stop it.

Here Zeus reveals two secrets of the gods: 1 ) people are free and 2 ) once they are free and realize it, the gods cannot touch them.

It then becomes a matter between men.

The ceremony of the dead and its fable has enabled Aegisthus to keep control and order over the town, instilled fear among them.

Aegisthus refuses to fight back when Orestes and Electra confront him.

Orestes kills Aegisthus and then he alone goes to Clytemnestra's bed chamber and kills her as well.
