Never wrong, the old master

 Have you ever noticed how Euripides writes about courage: how there are different kinds?

Here’s the heroic version:

Danger gleams like sunlight in a brave man’s eyes.

And here’s another flavor, harder to describe, less noticed, rarely admired:

To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man.

The first line is from Iphigenia in Tauris. The second is from Herakles.

The Greeks celebrated the equinox in more than one way, including toasts to the playwright's birthday.
