Exegesis
but also’ structures two parallel causal phrases: dia ten orgen {διὰ τὴν ὀργὴν | diá tḕn orgḗn} ‘because of the wrath’ and dia ten syneidesin {διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν | diá tḕn syneídēsin} ‘because of the conscience’. This parallelism contrasts the external deterrent of punitive wrath with the internal motivation of conscience. In English the impersonal ananke plus infinitive is rendered as an impersonal necessity in the formal and as direct address in the dynamic, preserving the unified infinitival structure governing both motives.
