What part or lot hast thou amongst true men? Thou, by a Phrygian from thy wife divorced, Who leftest hearth and home unbarred, unwarded, As who kept in his halls a virtuous wife,— And she the vilest! Though one should essay, Virtuous could daughter of Sparta never be. They gad abroad with young men from their homes, And with bare thighs and loose disgirdled vesture Race, wrestle with them,—things intolerable To me! And is it wonder-worthy then That ye train not your women to be chaste? Translation used Arthur S. Way, The Tragedies of Euripides in English verse, vol. 2, London 1896.
