| Τροφός: ὡς δὲ πέτρος ἢ θαλάσσιος κλύδων ἀκούει νουθετουμένη φίλων, ἢν μή ποτε στρέψασα πάλλευκον δέρην αὐτὴ πρὸς αὑτὴν πατέρ’ ἀποιμώξῃ φίλον καὶ γαῖαν οἴκους θ’, οὓς προδοῦσ’ ἀφίκετο μετ’ ἀνδρὸς ὅς σφε νῦν ἀτιμάσας ἔχει. |
| She is as deaf to the advice of her friends as a stone or a wave of the sea: she is silent unless perchance to turn her snow-white neck and weep to herself for her dear father and her country and her ancestral house. All these she abandoned when she came here with a man who has now cast her aside. |
| Euripides Medea 29-33 |
