No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will. - Euripides

Do not revive a grief I had forgotten.

Muse. I say to thee: Curse Odysseus,
And cursèd be Diomede!
For they made me childless, and forlorn for ever, of
the flower of sons.
Yea, curse Helen, who left the houses of Hellas.
She knew her lover, she feared not the ships and sea.
She called thee, called thee, to die for the sake of Paris,
Belovèd, and a thousand cities
She made empty of good men.

When a man becomes dissatisfied with married life, he goes outdoors and finds relief for his frustrations. But we are bound to love one partner and look no further. They say we live sheltered lives in the home, free from danger, while they wield 250 their spears in battle – what fools they are! I would rather face the enemy three times over than bear a child once.
