I would say this was enjoyable overall. Given how old this is and how old fashioned the thoughts expressed are, I find that you have to get into it with a light heart or else your risk being seriously frustrated.
For me it was quite amusing to read, as I made it a point not to take it seriously. And given its the final play, you can't expect a lot from it.
For someone who just wants to further familiarise themselves with classic scripts, this is a good, short piece to go through.

This Ancient Greek drama mirrors themes and issues of injustice, a thirst for blood, and a yearning for peace even in today’s culture. Amazing how ancient dramas can be so relevant thousands of years later.

The Erinyes = The Furies == The Eumenides = The Gracious Ones
They are not three, they are like ten women and perhaps more. They are stubborn as hell, sorry... stubborn as underworld. And you'll see that for yourself in this play.
