εἶεν· τί δῆτ’ ἐρεῖ τις, ἤν τις αὖ φανῇ
στρατοῦ τ’ ἄθροισις πολεμίων τ’ ἀγωνία;
πότερα μαχούμεθ’ ἢ φιλοψυχήσομεν,
τὸν κατθανόνθ’ ὁρῶντες οὐ τιμώμενον;

Well, what will people say if the armies are gathered together again, if there is another war? Will we fight or prefer to live, seeing that the dead are not respected?
