The Natural Law Tradition
On the south wall, there is a depiction of law. It is common to describe three female figures high on this wall as representing three cardinal virtues - courage, temperance and prudence. But another interpretation has these women as the three graces or perhaps three legal sisters in hesiod. This interpretation also more appropriately links the depiction of law and justice back to the athenian philosophers and helps us to see their harmony. I hope i have fulfilled my promise to introduce you to the natural law tradition. Thank you.
