Sophocles, Ajax, 65

nan

I kept urging him on, kept hurling him into the snares of doom.

And now he abuses them, bound together, in the house. But to you also will I show this madness openly, so that when you have seen it you may proclaim it to all the Argives. Be of good courage and stand your ground, and do not regard the man as a cause of disaster for you. I will turn away the beams of his eye
