Doth some one say that there be gods above? There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool, Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you. Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words No undue credence: for I say that kings Kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud, And doing thus are happier than those Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity Is built-up from our good and evil luck.
But do thou remain, there is no use for punctilio, if we can [but save your life.]
Death cannot be what Life is, Child; the cup Of Death is empty, and Life hath always hope.
MEDEA: The gods know who was the author of this sorrow. JASON: Yes, the gods know indeed, they know your loathsome heart. MEDEA: Hate me. But I tire of your barking bitterness.
