Ajax
Sophocles
Sophocles the plays and fragments, Part 7: The Ajax. Jebb, Richard Claverhouse, Sir, translator. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1891.
- Beloved Ajax, brother whose face was so dear to me, have you truly fared as the mighty rumor says?
- He is dead, Teucer. Take it as fact.
- Then I am destroyed by my heavy fortune!
- When things stand as they do—
- Ah, misery, misery!
- —you have cause to mourn.
- O rash passion!
- Yes, Teucer, far too rash.
