Additional quotes by Aeschylus

Furono saggi i nostri padri, facendo questa legge: che chi avesse le mani insanguinate non potesse farsi vedere né avere contatto con nessuno; e l’espiazione fosse l’esilio, non la morte. Ché, se no, ci sarebbe sempre stato uno implicato nel sangue: quello con l’ultima sozzura sulle mani.
