" "
No cowardice, and no remembering your children,
how they were your dears, or how you gave them birth.
Instead for this one fleeting day forget that they are yours,
and afterward take time to grieve.
Although it's you who's killing them
they were your lovely babes.
And I'm a woman made of sorrow.

ἁπλοῦς ὁ μῦθος τῆς ἀληθείας ἔφυ, κοὐ ποικίλων δεῖ τἄνδιχ᾽ ἑρμηνευμάτων

So goes the story: but to me
it's hardly plausible
that the sun, with its golden smile,
should turn from its fiery home
to cause mortal misfortune
for mortal rights and wrongs.
But fairy tales that scare us humans
are useful for religion.

It is a good thing to be rich and strong, but it is a better thing to be loved.
