 * 458 BC, (author),  (editor, translator), Ἀγαμέμνων in Aeschylus, with an English translation by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. in two volumes II: Agamemnon (1926), lines 1,521–1,530:
 * οὔτ’ ἀνελεύθερον οἶμαι θάνατον // τῷδε γενέσθαι. // οὐδὲ γὰρ οὗτος δολίαν ἄτην // οἴκοισιν ἔθηκ’; // ἀλλ’ ἐμὸν ἐκ τοῦδ’ ἔρνος ἀερθέν. // τὴν πολυκλαύτην Ἰφιγενείαν, // ἄξια δράσας ἄξια πάσχων // μηδὲν ἐν Ἅιδου μεγαλαυχείτω, // ξιφοδηλήτῳ, // θανάτῳ τείσας ἅπερ ἦρξεν.
 * [Neither do I think he met an ignoble death.] And did he not himself by treachery bring ruin on his house? Yet, as he has suffered — worthy prize of worthy deed — for what he did to my sweet flower, shoot sprung from him, the sore-wept Iphigenia, let him make no great boasts in the halls of Hades, since with death dealt him by the sword he has paid for what he first began. ― translation from the same source
