Philoctetes
Sophocles
Sophocles the plays and fragments, Part 4: The Philoctetes. Jebb, Richard Claverhouse, Sir, translator. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1898.
- I shall be found to have no honor—this is the thought that long torments me.
- Not because of your present deeds, at least. But because of your words, I worry.
- O Zeus, what shall I do? Must I be twice found base—by disloyal silence, as well as by shameful speech?
- Unless I am lacking in judgment, he means to betray me, leave me behind and sail away!
