Additional quotes by Euripides

Do not revive a grief I had forgotten.

IOL. O ye who have dwelt in Athens a long time, defend us; for, being suppliants of Jove, the Presider over the Forum, [3] we are treated with violence, and our garlands are profaned, both a reproach to the city, and an insult to the Gods.

Rhesus. Who next to him hath honour in their host?
Hector. Next, to my seeming, Ajax hath the most,
Or Diomede. — But Odysseus is a tough
And subtle fox, and brave; aye, brave enough.
No man of them hath harmed us more than he.
He climbed here to Athena's sanctuary
One night, and stole her image clean away
To the Argive ships. Yes, and another day,
Guised as a wandering priest, in rags, he came
And walked straight through the Gates, made loud acclaim
Of curses on the Greek, spied out alone
All that he sought in Ilion, and was gone — Gone, and the watch and helpers of the Gate
Dead! And in every ambush they have set
By the old Altar, close to Troy, we know
He sits — a murderous reptile of a foe!
