Additional quotes by Aeschylus

A speech well-mouthed
In th' utterance, and full-minded in the sense,
As doth befit a servant of the gods!

Τελεῖται δ' ἐς τὸ πεπρωμένον·
οὔθ' ὑποκαίων οὔτ' ἐπιλείβων
οὔτε δακρύων ἀπύρων ἱερῶν
ὀργὰς ἀτενεῖς παραθέλξει.

Let me attain no envied wealth, let me not plunder cities, neither be taken in turn, and face life in the power of another.
