EURIPIDES, by ALEXANDER AETOLUS First Line: Anaxagoras' ward was as true as his lord, but to talk to a little austere Last Line: But whatever he wrote, from his honey-sweet throat a siren-song came to the ear. Subject(s): Euripides (484-406 B.c.) | |||
ANAXAGORAS' ward was as true as his lord, but to talk to a little austere.
