Aeschylus

Aeschylus, Volume 1. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1922.

  1. Oh, ah, go away, alas! Never, oh never, did I dream that words so strange would greet my ears;
  2. or that sufferings so grievous to look upon, yes, and so grievous to endure, a tale of outrage, would strike my soul as if with double-pronged goad. Alas, O Fate, O Fate,
  3. I shudder to behold the plight that has befallen Io.
