ἐν τῷδε γὰρ κάμνουσιν αἱ πολλαὶ πόλεις,
ὅταν τις ἐσθλὸς καὶ πρόθυμος ὢν ἀνὴρ
μηδὲν φέρηται τῶν κακιόνων πλέον.
Many cities struggle when good men get no more than their inferiors.
Euripides Hecuba 306-8 (76)
εἶεν· τί δῆτ’ ἐρεῖ τις, ἤν τις αὖ φανῇ
στρατοῦ τ’ ἄθροισις πολεμίων τ’ ἀγωνία;
πότερα μαχούμεθ’ ἢ φιλοψυχήσομεν,
τὸν κατθανόνθ’ ὁρῶντες οὐ τιμώμενον;
Well, what will people say if the armies are gathered together again, if there is another war? Will we fight or prefer to live, seeing that the dead are not respected?

νῆσός τις ἔστι πρόσθε Σαλαμῖνος τόπων,
There's an island before the region of Salamis
