“Let them hate, so long as they fear.”
Oderint dum metuant.
From Atreus, quoted in Seneca, Dialogues, Books III–V "De Ira", I, 20, 4. (16 BC)
Lucius Accius , or Lucius Attius, was a Roman tragic poet and literary scholar. The son of a freedman and a freedwoman, Accius was born at Pisaurum in Umbria, in 170 BC. The year of his death is unknown, but he must have lived to a great age, since Cicero writes of having conversed with him on literary matters. Wikipedia
