[116] Again, the tragedian, Euripides, introduces Polyxena disregarding death, and thinking only of freedom, on which account she speaks in the following manner: / "Willingly now I die; and let no foe / Seize me with violent hands; for I myself / With cheerful courage will put forth my neck. / For God’s sake touch me not; but leave me free, / That having lived in freedom, I may die / Unviolated by a master’s hand."
