  1. A quotation from Euripides

    HELEN: When a man broods on a single misfortune and feels the gods are against him, though his suffering is real, it can be borne; but I am crushed by innumerable blows at once.
     
    [ἙΛΈΝΗ: ὅστις μὲν οὖν ἐς μίαν ἀποβλέπων τύχην
       πρὸς θεῶν κακοῦται, βαρὺ μέν, οἰστέον δ᾽ ὅμως:
       ἡμεῖς δὲ πολλαῖς συμφοραῖς ἐγκείμεθα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 267ff (412 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1954)]
