    δείξω δὲ μύθων τῶνδ᾽ ἀλήθειαν τάχα:
    ὁ γάρ με Θησέως παῖς, Ἀμαζόνος τόκος,
    Ἱππόλυτος, ἁγνοῦ Πιτθέως παιδεύματα,
    μόνος πολιτῶν τῆσδε γῆς Τροζηνίας
    λέγει κακίστην δαιμόνων πεφυκέναι.

    —Euripides, Hippolytus 9-13

    Sed fugit interea, fugit inreparabile tempus,
    singula dum capti circumuectamur amore.           
    hoc satis armentis: superat pars altera curae,
    lanigeros agitare greges hirtasque capellas;
    hic labor, hinc laudem fortes sperate coloni.

    —Vergil, Georgics 3.284-8
