EURIPIDES.

Athena.

Mine erstwhile foes the Trojans would I cheer, 65
And deal Achaia's host grim home-return.


Poseidon.

Yet why from mood to mood thus leapest thou,
In random sort bestowing hate and love?


Athena.

Know'st not how I was outraged, and my shrine?


Poseidon.

I know—when Aias dragged Kassandra thence. 70


Athena.

Unpunished of the Achaians—unrebuked!


Poseidon.

Yea, though by thy might these laid Ilium low.


Athena.

Therefore with thine help would I work their scathe.


Poseidon.

Mine help awaits thy will. What wouldst thou do?


Athena.

Deal them a home-return of evil speed. 75


Poseidon.

Ere they leave Troy, or on the briny sea?
