Aeschylus, Suppliant Women, 885


οἰοῖ, πάτερ, βρέτεος ἄροςCHORUS: Alas, father; the help of the sacred images deludes me. Like a spider, he is carrying me seaward step by step — a nightmare, a black nightmare! Oh! Oh! Mother Earth, mother Earth, avert his fearful cries! O father Zeus, son of Earth! HERALD: I do not fear the native gods, be assured. They did not rear me, nor by their nurture did they bring me to old age.
