Oh, in all things but this, I know how full of fears a woma… - Euripides

" "
Oh, in all things but this,
I know how full of fears a woman is,
And faint at need, and shrinking from the light
Of battle: but once spoil her of her right
In man's love, and there moves, I warn thee well,
No bloodier spirit between heaven and hell.

Additional quotes by Euripides

This, then, do you consider, and devise how both you yourselves may be saved and this land, and I be not brought into ill odor with the citizens; for I have not absolute sovereignty, as over barbarians; but if I do just things, I shall receive just things.

ALCESTIS Translated by Theodore Alois Buckley

It would have been better far for men To have got their children in some other way, and women Not to have existed. Then life would have been good.

Oh, in all things but this, I know how full of fears a woman is, And faint at need, and shrinking from the light Of battle: but once spoil her of her… - Euripides
