Sophocles, Ajax 581-582
“Close it quickly: it is not a sign of a wise doctor
To chant spells over a wound that needs cutting.”
πύκαζε θᾶσσον. οὐ πρὸς ἰατροῦ σοφοῦ
θρηνεῖν ἐπῳδὰς πρὸς τομῶντι πήματι.
691-2
“You, do what I advise and perhaps you will quickly learn
That even if I am unlucky, I have survived.”
ὑμεῖς δ᾿ ἃ φράζω δρᾶτε, καὶ τάχ᾿ ἄν μ᾿ ἴσως
πύθοισθε, κεἰ νῦν δυστυχῶ, σεσωμένον.
864-5
“This is the final word your Ajax ever says
I’ll tell the rest below in Hades to the dead.”
τοῦθ᾿ ὑμὶν Αἴας τοὔπος ὕστατον θροεῖ,
τὰ δ᾿ ἄλλ᾿ ἐν Ἅιδου τοῖς κάτω μυθήσομαι.
