Euripides, Hecuba, 1171-1175


κεντοῦσιν, αἱμάσσουσιν: εἶτ' ἀνὰ στέγαςand stabbed the hapless pupils of my eyes, making them gush with blood, and then fled through the chambers; up I sprang like a wild beast in pursuit of the shameless murderesses, searching along each wall with hunter’s care


φυγάδες ἔβησαν: ἐκ δὲ πηδήσας ἐγὼand stabbed the hapless pupils of my eyes, making them gush with blood, and then fled through the chambers; up I sprang like a wild beast in pursuit of the shameless murderesses, searching along each wall with hunter’s care


θὴρ ὣς διώκω τὰς μιαιφόνους κύναςand stabbed the hapless pupils of my eyes, making them gush with blood, and then fled through the chambers; up I sprang like a wild beast in pursuit of the shameless murderesses, searching along each wall with hunter’s care


ἅπαντ' ἐρευνῶν †τοῖχον ὡς κυνηγέτης†and stabbed the hapless pupils of my eyes, making them gush with blood, and then fled through the chambers; up I sprang like a wild beast in pursuit of the shameless murderesses, searching along each wall with hunter’s care


βάλλων ἀράσσων. τοιάδε σπεύδων χάρινdealing buffets, spreading ruin. This then is what I have suffered because of my zeal for you, Agamemnon, for slaying an enemy of yours. But to spare you a lengthy speech, if any of the men of former times have spoken ill of women, if any does so now, or shall do so hereafter
