Aeschylus The Suppliants

Aeschylus Seven Against Thebes

Aeschylus The Persians
Of all the Persians those in their strong prime, Highest of heart, noblest of lineage, Faithfullest servants of our lord the king, Lie dead in shamed dishonourable graves.
Ovid Metamorphoses
"Whether the creator god, source of a better world, seeded it from the divine, or the newborn earth just drawn from the highest heavens still contained fragments related to the skies, so that Prometheus, blending them with streams of rain, moulded them into an image of the all-controlling gods. While other animals look downwards at the ground, he gave human beings an upturned aspect, commanding them to look towards the skies, and, upright, raise their face to the stars."
Plato, Timaeus
We may now say that our discourse about the nature of the universe has an end. The world has received animals, mortal and immortal, and is fulfilled with them, and has become a visible animal containing the visible--the sensible God who is the image of the intellectual, the greatest, best, fairest, most perfect--the one only begotten heaven.
