  1. A quotation from Euripides

    AGAMEMNON:                         But women?
       Women overpower men?
    HECUBA:                                There is power
       in numbers, and cunning makes us strong.
     
    ἈΓΑΜΈΜΝΩΝ: καὶ πῶς γυναιξὶν ἀρσένων ἔσται κράτος;
    ἙΚΆΒΗ: δεινὸν τὸ πλῆθος σὺν δόλῳ τε δύσμαχον.
