done
And tamely hide your
all-avenging fire?

Now the sun arose and
left the lovely mere,
speeding to the brazen
heaven,
to give light to the
immortals and to mortal
men on the earth,
the graingiver ..

Ray of the sun,
fairest light of all
those shining
on seven-gated Thebes,
at last you appeared,
O eyes of golden day,
coming over the
streams of Dirce .
Antigone , Sophocles

6. There beneath the trees …
There beneath the trees
Sleeping they lay, like wild
things flung at ease
In the forest ; one half sinking
on a bed of deep pine
greenery ; one with
careless head
Amid the fallen oak leaves ;
Bacchae , Euripides

All most cold
In purity not as thy tale
was told
Of wine-cups and wild
music and the chase
For love amid the forest's
loneliness.
Bacchae , Euripides

Then he sped along the wave
like the cormorant,
that chaseth the fishes
through the perilous gulfs
of the unharvested sea,
and wetteth his thick plumage
in the brine

Through woodland
caverns deep
And o'er the rocky steep
Harbouring in caves he
roams the wild alone,
With none to share his
moan.
Oedipus king ,Sophocles .

Come from the drift, the
rock-ridge, the glen!
Leaving the mountain bare
Fleet through
the salt sea-air,
Mover of dances to Gods
and to men.
Aias , Sophocles

11. those dark dancing rocks …
Oh how I wish that ship ,
the Argo had never sailed off
to the land of Colchis,
past the Symplegades,
those dark dancing rocks
which smash boats sailing
through the Hellespont.
Medea ,Euripides

Thus the whole day passed
long till the setting of the
sun they feasted, nor did
their heart lack anything
of the equal feast, nor of
the beauteous lyre, that
Apollo held …
Iliad , Homer 1st rapsody
