Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
Religion
For when the female conquers and drives out the male, and gains glory in Argos, many women of the Argives shall she make to tear themselves, and some man in time to come shall say, “A terrible uncoiled snake perished by the spear.”
