"This one thing makes wrong right: power" -Eteocles - Euripides

Streams of the sacred rivers flow uphill;
Tradition, order, all things are reversed:
Deceit is men's device now,
Men's oaths are gods' dishonour.
Legend will now reverse our reputation;
A time comes when the female sex is honoured;
That old discordant slander
Shall no more hold us subject.

A woman of hot temper - and a man the same -
Is a less dangerous enemy than one quiet and clever.

Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.
