Euripides, Hecuba, 350-359

Φρυγῶν ἁπάντων: τοῦτό μοι πρῶτον βίου:

of all the Phrygians, my chiefest pride in life. Then I was nursed on fair hopes to be a bride for kings, the center of keen jealousy among suitors, to see whose home I would make my own; and over each lady of Ida I was queen;

ἔπειτ' ἐθρέφθην ἐλπίδων καλῶν ὕπο

of all the Phrygians, my chiefest pride in life. Then I was nursed on fair hopes to be a bride for kings, the center of keen jealousy among suitors, to see whose home I would make my own; and over each lady of Ida I was queen;

βασιλεῦσι νύμφη, ζῆλον οὐ σμικρὸν γάμων

of all the Phrygians, my chiefest pride in life. Then I was nursed on fair hopes to be a bride for kings, the center of keen jealousy among suitors, to see whose home I would make my own; and over each lady of Ida I was queen;

ἔχους', ὅτου δῶμ' ἑστίαν τ' ἀφίξομαι:

of all the Phrygians, my chiefest pride in life. Then I was nursed on fair hopes to be a bride for kings, the center of keen jealousy among suitors, to see whose home I would make my own; and over each lady of Ida I was queen;

δέσποινα δ' ἡ δύστηνος ̓Ιδαίαισιν ἦ

of all the Phrygians, my chiefest pride in life. Then I was nursed on fair hopes to be a bride for kings, the center of keen jealousy among suitors, to see whose home I would make my own; and over each lady of Ida I was queen;

γυναιξὶ †παρθένοις τ' ἀπόβλεπτος μέτα,†

ah me! admired among maidens, equal to a goddess, save for death alone, but now I am a slave! That name first makes me long for death, so strange it sounds; and then perhaps my lot might give me

ἴση θεοῖσι πλὴν τὸ κατθανεῖν μόνον:

ah me! admired among maidens, equal to a goddess, save for death alone, but now I am a slave! That name first makes me long for death, so strange it sounds; and then perhaps my lot might give me

νῦν δ' εἰμὶ δούλη. πρῶτα μέν με τοὔνομα

ah me! admired among maidens, equal to a goddess, save for death alone, but now I am a slave! That name first makes me long for death, so strange it sounds; and then perhaps my lot might give me

θανεῖν ἐρᾶν τίθησιν οὐκ εἰωθὸς ὄν:

ah me! admired among maidens, equal to a goddess, save for death alone, but now I am a slave! That name first makes me long for death, so strange it sounds; and then perhaps my lot might give me

ἔπειτ' ἴσως ἂν δεσποτῶν ὠμῶν φρένας

ah me! admired among maidens, equal to a goddess, save for death alone, but now I am a slave! That name first makes me long for death, so strange it sounds; and then perhaps my lot might give me
