Euripides
Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Translated into English Prose from the Text of Paley. Vol. I. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1906.
- What is it, poor man—who are you, that you have turned away from me and loathe me for the misfortunes of that one?
- I was wrong; I gave way to my anger more than I should, for all Hellas hates that daughter of Zeus. Forgive me for what I said, lady.
- Who are you? Where have you come from, to visit this land?
- I am one of those unfortunate Achaeans, lady.
- Then it is no wonder that you loathe Helen. But who are you and where do you come from? Whose son should I call you?
