“Bring down a people-eating tyrant however you desire
No criticism for this comes from the gods”
δημοφάγον δὲ τύραννον ὅπως ἐθέλεις κατακλῖναι
οὐ νέμεσις πρὸς θεῶν γίνεται οὐδεμία.
1318a-b
“Alas, I am a wretch: because of the terrors I have suffered
I bring pleasure to my enemies and toil to my friends”
῎Ωιμοι ἐγὼ δειλός· καὶ δὴ κατάχαρμα μὲν ἐχθροῖς,
τοῖσι φίλοις δὲ πόνος δεινὰ παθὼν γενόμην.
1079-80
“I’ll fault no enemy when he is noble,
nor will I praise a friend when he is wrong”
Οὐδένα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μωμήσομαι ἐσθλὸν ἐόντα,
οὐδὲ μὲν αἰνήσω δειλὸν ἐόντα φίλον.
