115 PM - Souda (Crete) - "Virtue is achieved through pain" (Euripides)
In the following verses the chorus addresses Iolaos. "Ah, cast thee not down, but endure heaven's stroke, nor thy spirit surrender unto anguished despair. She hath won her a portion in death that the world shall praise, who hath out of her agony risen, her brethen' s, our Athens' defender; And a crown shall she wear of renown that the worship of men on her brows shall place: For through tangle of trouble doth virtue unfaltering fare." (EURIPIDES, Children of Hercules, v. 619-25, Loeb, by A.S. Way).
