Euripides
Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Translated into English Prose from the Text of Paley. Vol. II. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1891.
- Sing with me, maidens, sing the praises of Artemis, whose temple faces Chalcis,
- where angry spearmen madly chafe, here in the narrow havens of Aulis, because of me.
- O Pelasgia, land of my birth, and Mycenae, my home!
- Is it on Perseus’ citadel you call, that town Cyclopean workmen built?
- To be a light to Hellas did you rear me, and so I do not say No to death.
