Ἔρωτι μὲν γοῦν ὅστις ἀντανίσταται πύκτης ὅπως ἐς χεῖρας οὐ καλῶς φρονεῖ. Οὗτος γὰρ ἄρχει καὶ θεῶν ὅπως θέλει, κάμοῦ γε· πῶς δ᾽ οὐ χἀτέρας οἷας γ᾽ ἐμοῦ.
Sragiona chi si oppone ad amore come un pugile in un incontro. Infatti questo comanda, come gli pare, anche gli dei, certo pure me: e come no, le altre al pari mio.
Sofocle, Trachinie, vv. 441-444
Anyone who opposes Love is out of their mind, like a boxer entering a fight. For Love commands even the gods as he pleases -certainly me as well, and, of course, all the others just like me.
