  1. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: Visitations of love that come
       Raging and violent on a man
       Bring him neither good repute nor goodness.
       But if Aphrodite descends in gentleness
       No other goddess brings such delight.
     
    [ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: ἔρωτες ὑπὲρ μὲν ἄγαν ἐλθόντες οὐκ εὐδοξίαν
       οὐδ᾽ ἀρετὰν παρέδωκαν ἀνδράσιν: εἰ δ᾽ ἅλις ἔλθοι
       Κύπρις, οὐκ ἄλλα θεὸς εὔχαρις οὕτως.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 627ff, Second Stasimon, Strophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]
