μή νυν, ἐὰν θνῄσκοντας ἢ τετρωμένους
πύθησθε, κωκυτοῖσιν ἁρπαλίζετε.
τούτῳ γὰρ Ἄρης βόσκεται, φόνῳ βροτῶν.

if, then, you hear that people are dying and wounded,
do not seize on the news and shriek
- for this is the food of Ares, human blood

Aeschylus,Seven Against Thebes242-4

ἔστι: θεοῦ δ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἰσχὺς καθυπερτέρα·
πολλάκι δ᾽ ἐν κακοῖσι τὸν ἀμάχανον
κἀκ χαλεπᾶς δύας ὕπερθ᾽ ὀμμάτων
κρημναμενᾶν νεφελᾶν ὀρθοῖ.

yes, but the strength of god is still superior:
often it lifts up someone who is helpless and in trouble,
lifts them out of even the worst anguish,
when clouds hang over their eyes,
and sets them upright

Aeschylus,Seven Against Thebes 226-9, trans. N.F.T.
