  1. A quotation from Euripides

    JASON: The curse of children’s blood be on you!
       Avenging Justice, blast your being!
    MEDEA: What god will hear your imprecation,
       Oath-breaker, guest-deceiver, liar?
     
    [ἸΆΣΩΝ: ἀλλά σ᾽ Ἐρινὺς ὀλέσειε τέκνων
       φονία τε Δίκη.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: τίς δὲ κλύει σοῦ θεὸς ἢ δαίμων,
       τοῦ ψευδόρκου καὶ ξειναπάτου;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
