Herald of the Egyptians: If you don't accept your fate and go to the ship, your finely worked clothes will be ripped without mercy.
[The Herald and his men approach closer]
Chorus: Help, noble leaders of the city, I'm being overpowered!
Herald: It looks as though I'll be dragging you off by the hair, since you aren't hearing my orders very sharply.
Chorus: We're done for! My lord, we're being treated unspeakably!
Herald: You'll soon be seeing plenty of lords – the sons of Aegyptus. Don't worry, you won't be complaining about a lack of authority!
[Enter Pelasgus from the city, with armed men]
Pelasgus: Here, you, what are you doing? What's your idea in insulting this land of Pelasgian men? Do you really think you've come to a city of women? For a barbarian you are showing an unduly arrogant attitude towards Greeks; you have made a great mistake, and your mind has gone far astray.
Herald: In what respect have I erred in doing this, or acted without right?
Pelasgus: In the first place, you do not know how an alien should behave.
Herald: What do you mean? I am finding and taking my own lost property.
– Aeschylus, from Suppliants (ca. 470-460 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
