  1. A quotation from Euripides

    HELEN: Men think me wicked, though I did no wrong:
       And for the innocent to bear the load
       Of guilt is worse than wickedness itself.
     
    [ἙΛΈΝΗ: πρῶτον μὲν οὐκ οὖσ᾽ ἄδικος, εἰμὶ δυσκλεής:
       καὶ τοῦτο μεῖζον τῆς ἀληθείας κακόν,
       ὅστις τὰ μὴ προσόντα κέκτηται κακά.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 270ff (412 BC) [tr. Sheppard (1925)]
