August Wilhelm von Schlegel
“Euripides, however, has drawn Fate down from the region of the infinite; and with him inevitable necessity not unfrequently degenerates into the caprice of chance. Accordingly, he can no longer apply it to its proper purpose, namely, by contrast with it, to heighten the moral liberty of man. How few of his pieces turn upon a steadfast resistance to the decrees of fate, or an equally heroic submission to them! His characters generally suffer because they must, and not because they will.”
August Wilhelm Schlegel, Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature

Euripides
“I wish you joy. To spend life's fleeting days mid joy that never meets an evil hour is to be blessed beyond compare.”
Euripides, Electra

Euripides
“Apollo, Apollo—but he is my lord. I will keep silence. He is wise forever, though his oracle spoke brutal words. We are bound to acquiesce. And you must do now as Fate and Zeus ordain.”
Euripides, Electra

Euripides
“If the gods do a shameful thing, they are not gods.”
Euripides

Euripides
“The hounds snap fierce at your heels. Turn toward Athens. I hear them pelting hard on you, I see black flesh and snake-hands coiling round a fruit of agonizing pain.”
Euripides, Electra
