Euripides, Electra, 253-259
πένης ἀνὴρ γενναῖος ἔς τ' ἔμ' εὐσεβής. He is a man poor but noble, and respectful to me. Oreste
ἡ δ' εὐσέβεια τίς πρόσεστι σῷ πόσει; What is this respect that your husband has? Electra
οὐπώποτ' εὐνῆς τῆς ἐμῆς ἔτλη θιγεῖν. He has never dared to touch me in bed. Oreste
ἅγνευμ' ἔχων τι θεῖον ἤ ς' ἀπαξιῶν; Does he hold some form of religious chastity, or does he think you unworthy? Electra
γονέας ὑβρίζειν τοὺς ἐμοὺς οὐκ ἠξίου. He did not think himself worthy to insult my family. Oreste
καὶ πῶς γάμον τοιοῦτον οὐχ ἥσθη λαβών; And how was he not delighted to make such a marriage? Electra
οὐ κύριον τὸν δόντα μ' ἡγεῖται, ξένε. He thinks the person who gave me did not have that right, stranger. Oreste
