The Pythia’s prologue in Aeschylus’ Eumenides serves an important function – since the action has just moved to Delphi, it must create its own space, and provide the spectators with a credible ‘verbal setting’. This paper wishes to show how Aeschylus achieves this poetic and dramatic aim. It will contend that Aeschylus uses topographical and archaeological data to represent the new space, and it will zero in on two parts of the Pythia’s monologue – the initial prayer to the Delphic gods, and the description of the Erinyes. By means of comparison with coeval lyric and dramatic passages, the paper aims at showing how archaeology can be used as a poetically effective strategy.
