Quotes from Bernard Knox

Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned

The same touchy sense of personal honor that is at the root of Achilles' wrath still governs relations between man and man in modern Greece; Greek society still fosters in the individual a fierce sense of his privileges, no matter how small, of his rights, no matter how confined, of his personal worth, no matter how low. And to defend it, he will stop, like Achilles, at nothing.

Euripides was born never to live in peace with himself and to prevent the rest of mankind from doing so.
