Psychomachia; the contrary virtues

the origin of the contrary virtues can be traced to a poem by Latin poet Prudentius.

contrary virtues allegedly stave off the Seven Deadly Sins:

humility counters pride

kindness counters envy

abstinence counters gluttony

chastity counters lust

patience counters anger

liberality counters greed

diligence counters sloth
