In Rumania, offerings are made on April 7 to the spirits of the water and the underworld.  Though hidden, they apparently are deemed beneficent if given their proper due:  They go by the name of Blajini, or "kindly ones."

Theater Aeschylus' trilogy, the Oresteia, includes the plays _Agamemnon_, _The Libation Bearers (Choephoroi)_, and _The Eumenides_; its story of the blood feud in the house of Atreus will have a powerful influence on future writers and thinkers. Clytemnestra is murdered by her son Orestes for her murder of his father Agamemnon, and although he has been urged to commit the act by the god Apollo, he is pursued by the Furies. Orestes flees to Athens, where the goddess Athena establishes the court of Areopagus, grants forgiveness to Orestes, and changes the name of the Furies to "the kindly ones." Aeschylus will die in 2 years at age 69, but he will be survived through the ages by tragedies that include _Prometheus Bound_ and _The Suppliants_.
