Oh yeah I mentioned that to my other reply to you as well! Hahaha it is so hilarious indeed that he keeps repeating Zeus' name like a mantra manipulating the result hahahaha 😆 I think that is not by chance indeed! Not only does he seem to say that his own gift and orders come from above to escape the accusations of the Furies but also kinda winks at Athena like "yeah remember our daddy? Don't disappoint him now" hahaha 😆

I find it incredibly hilarious that in Aeschylus' "Eumenides" Apollo acts as a witness to Orestes and has the most lawyer energy ever 🤣 😆 like he wants to persuade the audience that Orestes is justified and to achieve that he speaks on how a father is the real parent and not the mother and says that "a father can exist even without a mother" and then uses fucking ATHENA as an example! 🤣🤣🤣 like he says "Zeus gave birth to Athena through his head so the father is the parent"

I just can't help but finding hilarious! 🤣🤣 and I can imagine Hermes in the background snickering at that or trying not to yell "dude what the fuck?!" 🤣🤣🤣

Apollo definitely works as a lawyer here hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 confusing the audience 😂

#too many people get stuck on that one specific statement of Apollo #and don't realise how much more comedic it is (and makes more sense) when you see it as Apollo being a typical lawyer #he's just saying whateverrr and making things up just so Orestes could go home #that's dedication #<- previous tags #i so agree! i think even the way the dialog goes has a certain comical side to it especially given how the Furies challenge Apollo himself!#the way Apollo says “suck it I'll win!”#and the votes were half half so that also double confirms that Apollo was trying to see Athena's good side given it was HER vote to decide
