This is Euripides telling Agathon "the women are making fun of me i need you to dress up as a woman because you're pretty and soft" and Agathon yells at him and says "why don't you solve your own problems and do it yourself" and quotes Euripides against himself😭❤️there are honestly so many opportunities to degrade Agathon but he just keeps holding his own

#agathon #eurpides #“dont expect me to solve your problems for you; its your own fault youre there” asjkdhfh #i feel no shame in making an agathon tag. no one else is out here posting about him i do what i want.

I envy the Greece that is taking you away.

On Mortality

No one who remains untouched by suffering and sickness

is mortal; there are children who must be buried,

who must be conceived again, and death is everyone's end.

These things profitlessly bring anxiety to humankind:

earth must return to earth, then from everyone life is

reaped, just like crops: thus necessity commands.

This is a translation of Cicero's translation of a passage from Euripides that I found in the Oxford Book of Latin Verse. The original Greek text that Cicero translated from is Euripides, Fragment 757 (from Hypsipyle), lines 122-128. Cicero's translation of this Fragment appeared in his Tusculan Disputations, 3.25.59.

Here is the original Greek:

ἔφυ μὲν οὐδεὶς ὅ[στις οὐ πονεῖ βροτῶν· θάπτει τε τέκ[να χἄτερα κτᾶται νέα, αὐτός τε θνῄσκε[ι· καὶ τάδ᾿ ἄχθονται βροτοὶ εἰς γῆν φέροντες [γῆν. ἀναγκαίως δ᾿ ἔχει βίον θερίζειν ὥ[στε κάρπιμον στάχυν, καὶ τὸν μὲν εἶ[ναι, τὸν δὲ μή· τί ταῦτα δεῖ στένειν ἅπε[ρ δεῖ κατὰ φύσιν διεκπερᾶν;

Medea was often left vexed

By Jason, her patience was test’d
