    rational to fear (example of the Celts)

    fear, but stands firm in face of that fear

    situations, when that is rational

    that they fear most greatly

    Five types of character resembling courage

    citizen soldiers courage motivation is avoiding legal penalties and shame, gaining honors or perhaps avoiding pain of punishment
    being experienced with a kind of danger, so not really feeling fear because one knows matter is not really fearful

    being in the grips of anger, being made bold by pain or frustration this can become true courage when channeled and shaped rightly
    feeling confidence because of ones previous successes (or temporarily because of being drunk!)
    facing danger because one is ignorant of the actual danger

    Deals with emotions of fear and confidence, when facing things that are fear-provoking

    (examples of such things: death, disgrace, pain, poverty, disease, harm to ones loved ones, romantic failure, rejection, natural disasters)

    Also has to do with the pains fearful things threaten, the pain involved in standing up to them, and the pleasure of doing noble, honorable things
