Aeschylus (c. 525-456 BCE)
“What good are the oracles to men? Words, more words,
and the hurt comes on us, endless words
and a seer’s techniques have brought us
terror and the truth.”
- From Aeschylus’ Agamemnon (approximately around line 1135), translated by Robert Fagles. New York: Penguin Classics, 1979.
