“Are you a witch? A vulture, a hieroglyph, the sign or the name of a goddess? What sort of goddess is this? Who are you?”

—H. D., from The Collected Poems: 1912-1944; “Pallinode,”wr. c. 1926

• ὡς τρὶς ἂν παρ᾽ ἀσπίδα/στῆναι θέλοιμ᾽ ἂν μᾶλλον ἢ τεκεῖν ἅπαξ (Euripides Med. 250-1)
  
• for I would rather thrice stand by the shield/ than once bear a child
• καὶ σοῖς ἀραία γ᾽ οὖσα τυγχάνω δόμοις. (Euripides Med. 608)
  
• I am a curse unto your house as well
• καὶ μανθάνω μὲν οἷα τολμήσω κακά/θυμὸς δὲ κρείσσων τῶν ἐμῶν βουλευμάτων/ὅσπερ μεγίστων αἴτιος κακῶν βροτοῖς. (Euripides Med. 1078-80)
  
• I know what evils I dare to do/ my heart is stronger than my plans/ and great is my blame for the blood
• dum ferrum flammaeque aderunt sucusque veneni/ hostis Medeae nullus inultus erit (Ovid Her. 12.181-2)
  
• as long as I have iron and fire and poison at my disposal/ no enemy of Medea’s will go unpunished
• viderit ista deus, qui nunc mea pectora versat/ nescio quid certe mens mea maius agit! (Ovid Her. 211-2)
  
• the god who twists my heart will witness these deeds/ for surely I know not what vast act my mind devises!
• tum me de tigride natam/ tum ferrum et scopulos gestare in corde fatebor (Ovid Met. 7.32-3) 
  
• then I will be called the daughter of a tiger/ and they will say I carry iron and stone in my heart
• maximus intra me deus est (Ovid Met. 7.55)  
  
• the greatest god is within me
• et vertice sidera tangam (Ovid Met. 7.61)
  
• and I will reach the stars with the crown of my head
• Medea superest, hic mare et terras vides/ ferrumque et ignes et deos et fulmina (Seneca Med. 166-7)
  
• Medea stands alone, here you see the sea and the lands/ and iron and fire and gods and lightning
• si placet, damna ream;/ sed redde crimen (Seneca Med. 245-6)
  
• condemn me if you like;/ but give me back my crime
• invadam deos/ et cuncta quatiam (Seneca Med. 424-5)
  
• I will invade the gods/ and shake all things
• Medea nunc sum; crevit ingenium malis (Seneca Med. 910)
  
• Now I am become Medea; my nature has grown amidst evil
