Alle spalle due grandi archetipi: da un lato il primo tribunale, l'areopago dell'Antica Grecia, che, secondo la fondatrice Atena, "agirà secondo giustizia, al di fuori delle passioni e sottrarrà Oreste dalla furia delle persecuzioni", dall'altro la Giustizia, fanciulla bendata, imparziale, con la bilancia in una mano e la spada nell'altra.
