Additional quotes by Euripides

MEN. For thou thinkest inconsistently, now one thing, before another, another thing presently. AG. Well hast thou talked evil. Hateful is a too clever tongue. [20]

Come, God — Bromius, Bacchus, Dionysus — burst into life, burst
into being, be a mighty bull,
a hundred-headed snake,
a fire-breathing lion.
Burst into smiling life, oh Bacchus!

Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.
