One thing that I found particularly interesting was the relationship between the furies and Athena. She seems to have this twisted sort of respect for these vile creatures. She goes on to praise the wisdom of furies stating that she herself will never be able to reach their level of knowledge. This is shocking considering Athena is the goddess of wisdom and she is stating that they are above her. She sees them as ancient creatures throned in all their disgusting glory.
P.S. I commented on Brennan's post :D
I just blogged about this! I found it pretty interesting that they had mutual respect for one another, considering how different they are and how at odds they should be. Athena seems very gracious toward them.
