Hansen & Quinn forced me to try my hand at some Menander and Sophokles:
Menander
371. A bride without a dowry has no freedom of speech.
102. For to men marriage is hardly to be prayed for.
15. The mortals are often hurt by thoughtlessness.
523. Sleep [is?] fearsome evil to the men.
722. To do many things everywhere is rotten.
723. And to do many things has many pains.
Sophokles
14. Skilled rulers of the wise [to being together with?]
850. And it is of the gods
he dies, but the gods do not.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
