Euripides

Euripides (c. 485-406 BCE)

“If a man cannot unlock a pure heart
and respect his friends,
may he perish without reward.
He will never be a friend of mine.”

  • From Euripides’ Medea (approximately between lines 660-670), translated by James Morwood in Medea and Other Plays (Oxford University Press, 1997, 1998, 2008).
