Aeschylus Quotes

I take my cue from deeds, not words.

But there is a cure in the house,
and not outside it, no,
not from others but from them,
their bloody strife. We sing to you,
dark gods beneath the earth.

Ὄξος τ' ἄλειφά τ' ἐγχέας ταὐτῷ κύτει
διχοστατοῦντ' ἂν οὐ φίλως † προσεννέποις.

Мук зазнати ворогу від ворогів — Не ганьба.

Nothing that strikes a note of brutal conquest. Only peace blessings, rising up from the earth and the heaving sea, and down the vaulting sky let the wind-gods breathe a wash of sunlight streaming through the land, and the yield of soil and grazing cattle flood our city's life with power and never flag with time. Make the seed of men live on, the more they worship you the more they thrive. I love them as a gardener loves his plants, these upright men, this breed fought free of grief. All that is yours to give. And I, in the trials of war where fighters burn for fame, will never endure the overthrow of Athens all will praise her, victor city, pride of man. The furies assemble, dancing around Athena, who becomes their leader.

Man shall learn from man's lot.

To learn is to be young, however old.

არა! მოგაშთობთ, სანამ ჩემი დამდგარა ჯერი.
უფსკრულში ჯერ თქვენ გადაგიშვებთ, მერმე მოგყვებით

إن من التقوى مجازاة الجريمة بالجريمة

For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.

Now, by the altar,
Over the victim
Ripe for our ritual,
Sing this enchantment:
A song without music,
A sword in the senses,
A storm in the heart
And a fire in the brain;
A clamour of Furies
To paralyse reason,
A tune full of terror,
A drought in the soul!

But when a man
speeds toward his own ruin,
a god gives him help.

φιλεῖ δὲ σιγᾶν ἢ λέγειν τὰ καίρια.

What mortal else who hears shall claim he was born immune to the demon of harm?

З заліза треба серце мати, з каменю,
З тобою щоб не мучитись
стражданнями
Твоїми, Прометею!
