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.
- Pylades who shared with me the bloody deed, my mother’s murder.
- You are sick from phantom shapes; what sort?
- I seemed to see three maidens, black as night.
- I know whom you mean, but I do not want to name them.
- Yes, for they are revered; you were well-informed, to avoid naming them.
- Are these the ones that drive you to frenzy, with the curse of kindred blood?
- Oh! the torment I endure from their pursuit!
- It is not strange, if those who have done dreadful things should suffer them.
