Kinship and Politics
How do these texts illustrate the relationship between kinship and politics?
In Greek Mythology, the power of right is passed by kinship in generations, and people’s belief in gods leads their life and their acts show gods’ will. In the meanwhile, politics originally indicates certain relationships are between politics and groups of individuals. Moreover, politics is always referred to methods, including the purpose and the use of power, for addressing impacts on the tendency of those individuals’ performance, as well as their engagement and activities in civic affairs. In result of that, theories of political behavior are aimed at explicating the influences that define an individual’s behaviors, opinions, and participation in civic society.
In understanding the relationship between kinship and politics, we need to have a detailed look on the ancient Greek Mythology. In this essay, I will mainly discuss about Aeschylus’s Eumenides, together with Another great literary works, Theogony, written by Hersiod. From paragraphs given on the lecture, we acquired some knowledge of ancient Greek Mythology which we can trace the origin of gods to help us understand the kinship.
In reading Aeschylus 's Eumenides, I found the great progress from the revenge between the bloods to the set up of the civil court. It illustrates us the foundation of establishment of orders for Greek people’s new life by showing the fight between the old gods and the new gods’ attitudes towards the murder case of Clytaemestra, with the arguments which mainly focus on kinship and then the civilization. The central theme of this play is the interests and conflicts which were shown during the long debate and words fight between opposites, and the reconciliation of the plaintiff and the defendant. The text shows the relationship between kinship and politics by several arguments among the Furies, Apollo and Athena, who defines “kinship” in different ways.
