Quote #10
(Chorus of Furies): "Greetings, and rejoicings again—I repeat my wishes—
all of you here in the city,
both deities and mortals!
While you manage Pallas' city,
and hold in reverence
my settling among you,
you will have no blame for life's fortune." (1014-1020)
This quotation is similar to the previous quotation. Here, we see that Athena's rhetoric has been successful; the Furies are totally on board in terms of helping the new city, and feel no sense of guilt or blame for what has happened. In a way, this totally makes sense—you can't have ideas of guilt without forgiveness. The Furies' turn to total forgiveness might just be the flipside of their old nature.
