A great ox stands on my tongue.
Aeschylus
Image
You'll see all other mortal sinners, the ones who flout the honor owed to gods or guests, or loving parents--you'll see them get the justice they deserve. For Hades holds men mightily to a strict accounting down below the earth he sees all things, inscribes them within the book of his remembering.
Aeschylus
Image
Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Aeschylus
Image
The truth Has to be melted out of our stubborn lives By suffering. Nothing speaks the truth, Nothing tells us how things really are, Nothing forces us to know What we do not want to know Except pain. And this is how the gods declare their love.
Aeschylus
Image
In war the first casualty is the truth.
Aeschylus
Image
God planteth in mortal men the cause of sin whensoever he wills utterly to destroy a house.
Aeschylus
Image
Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.
Aeschylus
Image
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
Aeschylus
Image
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
Aeschylus
Image
The people's awe and innate fear will hold injustice back by day, by night, so long as the people leave the laws intact, just as they are: muddy the cleanest spring, and all you'll have to drink is muddy water.
Aeschylus
Image
Wiles and deceit are female qualities.
Aeschylus
Image
Good fortune is a god among men, and more than a god.
Aeschylus
Image
Death is easier than a wretched life and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Aeschylus
Image
Fortune is for all, judgment is theirs who have won it for themselves.
Aeschylus
Image
For Hades is mighty in calling men to account below the earth, and with a mind that records in tablets he surveys all things.
Aeschylus
Image
Take courage pain's extremity soon ends.
Aeschylus
Image
No man looks with love on deeds that to the high Gods hateful prove.
Aeschylus
Image
Honor modesty more than your life.
Aeschylus
Image
Suffering brings experience.
Aeschylus
Image
Time waxing old can many a lesson teach.
Aeschylus
