Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.2in.Excerpt: . . . edition of Euripides, and had taken some replies of Admetus for those of Alceste; but Euripides does not the less appear in all countries to have done very wrong in making Admetus use such extraordinary language to his father, whom he violently reproaches for not having died for him: How! replies the king, his father; whom, pray, are you addressing so haughtily Some Lydian or Phrygian slave Know you not that I am free, and a Thessalian (Fine language, truly, for a king and a father!) You insult me as if I were the meanest of men. Where is the law which says fathers must die for their children Each for himself here below. I have fulfilled all my obligations toward you. In what, then, do I wrong you Do I ask you to die for me The light is dear to you; is it less so to me You accuse me of cowardice! Coward that you yourself are! You were not ashamed to urge your wife to save you, by dying for you. After this, does it become you to treat as cowards those who refuse to do for you what you have not the courage to do yourself Believe me, you ought rather to be silent. You love life; others love it no less. Be assured that if you continue to abuse me, you shall have reproaches, and not false ones, in return. He is here interrupted by the chorus, with: Enough! Too much on both sides! Old man, cease this ill language toward your son. One would think that the chorus should rather give the son a severe reprimand for speaking in so brutal a manner to his father. All the rest of the scene is in the same style: Pheres (to his son). This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
