Good will:
P. and V. εὔνοια, ἡ, εὐμένεια, ἡ, P. φιλοφροσύνη, ἡ (Plat.).

P. φιλανθρωπία, ἡ.
Pity:

Congratulation:

The public sympathies inclined considerably to the side of the Lacedaemonians more
(than to that of their opponents): P. ἡ δε εὔνοια παρὰ πολὺ ἐποίει τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἐς τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους (Thuc. 2.8).
Seeing you let fall tears from your eyes I felt pity and myself shed tears in sympathy with you:
V. ἐγώ σʼ ἀπʼ ὄσσων ἐκβαλόντʼ ἰδὼν δάκρυ ᾤκτειρα καὐτὸς ἀντάφηκα σοὶ πάλιν (Eur. I.A. 477).
