Euripides, The Trojan Women (ed. E. P. Coleridge), line 595 (search)
Andromache
These great griefs—
Hecuba
Unhappy one, bitter these woes to bear.

Our city ruined—
Hecuba
And sorrow to sorrow added.

But what can you say of her other name?SocratesYou mean Athena?HermogenesYes.SocratesThat is a weightier matter, my friend. The ancients seem to have had the same belief about Athena as the interpreters of Homer have now;
Not I, but Varius:—he, of Homer's brood
A tuneful swan, shall bear you on his wing,
Your tale of trophies, won by field or flood,
Mighty alike to sing.
Not mine such themes, Agrippa; no, nor mine
To chant the Wrath that fill'd Pelides' breast,
Nor dark Ulysses' wanderings o'er the brine,
Nor Pelops' house unblest.
Vast were the task, I feeble; inborn shame,
And she, who makes the peaceful lyre submit,
Forbid me to impair great Caesar's fame
And yours by my weak wit.
But who may fitly sing of Mars array'd
In adamant mail, or Merion, black with dust
Of Troy, or Tydeus' son by Pallas' aid
Strong against gods to thrust?
Feasts are my theme, my warriors maidens fair,
Who with pared nails encounter youths in fight;

Let the Ithacan compare with deeds like mine
his sleeping Rhesus, his unwarlike Dolon,
Helenus taken, and Pallas gained by theft—
all done by night and all with Diomed.
If you must give these arms for deeds so mean,
then give the greater share to Diomed.
“Why give arms to Ulysses, who by stealth
and quite unarmed, has always done his work,
deceiving his unwary enemy
by stratagems? This brilliant helmet, rich
with sparkling gold, will certainly betray
his plans, and will discover him when hid.
His soft Dulichian head beneath the helm
of great Achilles will not bear the weight;
Achilles' heavy spear from Pelion must
be burdensome for his unwarlike hands:
nor will the shield, graven with the vasty world
beseem a dastard left hand, smooth for theft.
“Why caitiff, will you beg them for a gift,
which will but weaken you? If by mistake,
the Grecian people should award you this,
it would not fright the foe but offer spoils
and that swift flight (in which alone you have
excelled all others, da<

She answer'd, " Friend, your service I disclaim;
Who are you, pray? whence come you? what's your name?"
"Men call me Celadon, in verse I write,
And songs at home with some applause indite;
Oh, why is every flower and pleasing root
That in the Muses' happy garden shoot,
Denied me now? and why must I despair,
With sweets of verse to charm the brightest fair?
Thou gentle muse, my humble breast inspire
With sacred numbers and celestial fire;
And, Pallas, thy propitious light convey,
To chase the mist of ignorance away!"
"Peace, rhyming fool, and learn henceforth to make
A fitter choice; your woman you mistake."
"0 mercy, Venus! mercy from above!
Why would you curse me with such hopeless love?
Behold the most abandon'd soul on earth;
Ill was I got, and woful was my birth.
Unless some pity on my pains you shed,
The frosty grave will quickly be my bed."
Thus having spoke, my breath began to fail,
My colour sunk, and turned like ashes pale;
I swoon'd, and down I fell. " Thou slave arise
