Messenger: Yes, our archery was of no avail; the whole host perished, destroyed by the ramming of ships.
Chorus: Otototoi, you are saying
that the dead bodies of our loved ones
are floating, soaked and constantly buffeted by salt water,
shrouded in mantles that drift on the waves!
Messenger: The shores of Salamis, and all the region near them, are full of corpses wretchedly slain.
Chorus: Raise a crying voice of woe
for the wretched fate of our loved ones,
for the way the gods have caused
total disaster! Aiai, for our destroyed army!
Messenger: How utterly loathsome is the name of Salamis to my ears! Ah, how I groan when I remember Athens!
Chorus: She is indeed hateful to her foes:
we can remember well
how many Persian women they caused
to be bereaved and widowed, all for nothing.
– Aeschylus, from Persians (472 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
