peer agreement (net): +2What prowess is it to slay the slain anew? Explanation: From Sophocles' Antigone, indeed (line 1030). Ἀλλ' εἶκε τῷ θανόντι, μηδ' ὀλωλότα κέντει· τίς ἀλκὴ τὸν θανόντ' ἐπικτανεῖν; stab not the fallen; what prowess is it to slay the slain anew? http://books.google.com/books?id=hbw8AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA185&lpg=P... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2009-08-29 20:39:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In modern Greek skip the first word; it is probably just a title: Ανανδρία: Είναι ανανδρία τους σκοτωμένους να ξανασκοτώνεις. |
