  1. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: I say that mortals who have no experience
       Of and have never had children
       Have a better chance for happiness
       Than those who bear them.
     
    ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: καί φημι βροτῶν οἵτινές εἰσιν
       πάμπαν ἄπειροι μηδ᾿ ἐφύτευσαν
       παῖδας προφέρειν εἰς εὐτυχίαν
       τῶν γειναμένων.

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1090ff (431 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2020)]
