Chorus
How will you summon up the strength of purpose or the courage of hand and heart to dare this dreadful deed? [860] When you have turned your eyes upon your children, how will you behold their fate with tearless eye? When your children fall as suppliants at your feet, you will not be able to drench your hand in their blood [865] with hardened heart.
Euripides. Euripides, with an English translation by David Kovacs. Cambridge. Harvard University Press. forthcoming.
