Agamemnon - V:220

But when necessity's yoke was put upon him

he changed, and from the heart the breath came bitter

and sacrilegious, utterly infidel,

to warp a will now to be stopped at nothing.

The sickening in men's minds, tough,

reckless in fresh cruelty brings daring. He endured then

to sacrifice his daughter

to stay the strength of war waged for a woman,

first offering for the ships' sake.
