Aeschylus

Aeschylus (c. 525-456 BCE)

“God does as god decrees.
And still some say
that heaven would never stoop to punish men
who trample the lovely grace of things
untouchable. How wrong they are!”

  • Aeschylus, Agamemnon (approximately line 373-377), translated by Robert Fagles. New York: Penguin Classics, 1979.
