Aeschylus

Aeschylus

Aeschylus
When a man dies, flesh is frayed and broken in the fire, but not his will.
Aeschylus
Justice, voiceless, unseen, seeth thee when thou sleepest and when thou goest forth and when thou liest down. Continually doth she attend thee, now aslant thy course, now at a later time. These lines are from a section of doubtful or spurious fragments.
Aeschylus
I have been schooled by my own suffering: I've learned the many ways of being purged.
Aeschylus
Don't you know this, that words are doctors to a diseased temperment?
Aeschylus
