Everybody is Wrong
Orestes shouldn't have killed him mom, but Clytaemnestra shouldn't have killed Agamemnon. While both were in the wrong, it would have just continued a cycle of evil had Orestes been convicted. The best case scenario, in my opinion was exactly what happened. Although, the Furies felt as though it was unfair to them for Orestes to be acquitted, once they accepted Athena's offer to live in Athens they became benevolent and Orestes got to go free. Everybody got to live happily ever after.

I think it is almost comical how the play ends. Like you said, it pretty much ends with an "...and they all lived happily ever after." If this was going to be the outcome, then what was the point in the trial anyways?
