  1. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: Great treasure halls hath Zeus in heaven,
       From whence to man strange dooms be given,
          Past hope or fear.
       And the end men looked for cometh not,
       And a path is there where no man thought:
          So hath it fallen here.
       
    [ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: πολλῶν ταμίας Ζεὺς ἐν Ὀλύμπῳ,
       πολλὰ δ᾽ ἀέλπτως κραίνουσι θεοί:
       καὶ τὰ δοκηθέντ᾽ οὐκ ἐτελέσθη,
       τῶν δ᾽ ἀδοκήτων πόρον ηὗρε θεός.
       τοιόνδ᾽ ἀπέβη τόδε πρᾶγμα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1415ff (431 BC) [tr. Murray (1906)]
