Aeschylus, Volume 2. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1926.

  1. For me to suffer this, alas! For me, with ancient wisdom, to live beneath the earth, alas, without honor, unclean!
  2. I am breathing fury and utter rage. Oh, oh, the shame of it! What anguish steals into my breast! Hear my anger, mother
  3. Night; for the deceptions of the gods, hard to fight, have deprived me of my ancient honors, bringing me to nothing.
