Quote #10

(Athena): "Are they minded to find a path for their tongues to be kind?

From their fearsome countenance

I see great benefit to these citizens.

(to the jurors) If with goodwill towards goodwill you always do them great honour,

you will be wholly pre-eminent for keeping

both land and city on the straight way of justice. (987-995)

Even after the Furies have taken on their new role, Athena suggests, striking fear will still be an important part of their duties.
