Resumo: | The initiative to turn off the past and allow the march of time forward is often attributed to the Greeks, because of the composition of the tragedies. Artistically, Eumenides, who composed the Oresteia trilogy of Aeschylus, represents the invention of justice and of law itself: in the narrative, a court was first institutionalized to judge blood crimes based on a rational discourse, putting an end to the vindictive system known as the Curse of the Atreidai. Would it be correct to say that Orestes’s distant judgment is still representative of the end of the cycle of revenge, or even that the contemporary systems of law continue to reflect those primitive systems, as if the three drops of Uranus’ blood, which gave birth to the Erinyes, still dyed the Earth, preventing the past from happening? The objective of this article, while recognizing the contribution of the Hellenes, is to demonstrate that, on the plane of reality, the conversion of the Erinyes into Eumenides did not complete its cycle: there is a past that does not disconnect from the present and the long memories of the avenging goddesses still cry out for revenge, hindered by Orestes’ trial, but it is difficult to deny that the State, by punishing, in a given perspective, does not continue to reproduce feelings and practices of revenge, similarly to the curse of the Atreidai. |

Literariamente, Eumênides, que compõe a trilogia Oresteia, de Ésquilo, representa a invenção da justiça e do próprio direito: institucionalizou-se pela primeira vez um tribunal para julgar crimes de sangue com base num discurso racional, pondo fim ao sistema vindicativo conhecido como a maldição dos Atridas. Seria correto afirmar que o longínquo julgamento de Orestes ainda é representativo do fim do ciclo de vingança ou os sistemas contemporâneos de direito continuam refletindo aqueles primitivos sistemas, como se as três gotas de sangue de Urano, que deram origem às Erínias, ainda tingissem a terra impedindo que o passado passe? O objetivo deste artigo, sem deixar de reconhecer a contribuição dos helenos, é demonstrar que, no plano da realidade, a conversão das Erínias em Eumênides não completou seu ciclo: há um passado que não se desliga e as memórias longas das deusas vingadoras ainda clamam por vingança, interditada, por certo, com o julgamento de Orestes, mas difícil é negar que o Estado, ao punir, numa dada perspectiva, não continue a reproduzir sentimentos e práticas de vingança, a recordar a maldição dos Atridas.Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)2017-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresRevisão da literaturaapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/xmlhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/30510.21119/anamps.31.39-72ANAMORPHOSIS - International Journal of Law and Literature; Vol. 3 No. 1 (2017): janeiro-junho; 39-72ANAMORPHOSIS – Revista Internacional de Derecho y Literatura; Vol. 3 Núm. 1 (2017): janeiro-junho; 39-72ANAMORPHOSIS – Revue internationale de droit et littérature; Vol. 3 No 1 (2017): janeiro-junho; 39-72ANAMORPHOSIS - Rivista Internazionale di Diritto e Letteratura; V. 3 N. 1 (2017): janeiro-junho; 39-72ANAMORPHOSIS - Revista Internacional de Direito e Literatura; v. 3 n. 1 (2017): janeiro-junho; 39-722446-80882446-808810.21119/anamps.31.2017reponame:Anamorphosis (Porto Alegre)instname:Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)instacron:RDLporenghttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/305/pdfhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/305/pdf_1https://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/305/xmlCopyright (c) 2017 ANAMORPHOSIS - Revista Internacional de Direito e Literaturainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento, João Luiz Rocha do2020-05-12T14:47:04Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/305Revistahttp://rdl.org.br/seer/index.php/anampsONGhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/oairevista@rdl.org.br||henriete@rdl.org.br2446-80882446-8088opendoar:2020-05-12T14:47:04Anamorphosis (Porto Alegre) - Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)false |
