Chorus of Furies:
There is a proper place for the fear-inspiring,
and for fear to sit high
in the soul as its overseer:
it is beneficial
to learn good sense under the pressure of distress.
What man that does not at all nourish
his heart on fear –
or what community of men, it makes no difference –
will still revere Justice?
Do not praise
either a life of anarchy
or a life under despotism:
in everything god has given pre-eminence to the mean,
though he governs different spheres in different ways.
I speak a word that fits together with that:
Outrage is in very truth the child of Impiety,
but from a healthy mind
spring prosperity, dear to all
and much prayed for.
– Aeschylus, from Eumenides (458 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
