Justice

After reading all that we have read this semester so far, I cannot help but to be irritated at the gods' form of justice. For example, in Orestes's case the furies say that Orestes is in the wrong for killing his mother, but Apollo says that it was a just act. The gods contradict each other and there is no steady form of justice throughout all of Ancient Greece. In The Odyssey, Poseidon wreaks havoc on Odysseus due to the fact that Odysseus gouged the eye out of his son. The gods make their own form of justice throughout ancient Greece. They determine what is right and wrong by how they feel or with their own vendetta in mind.
