I saw your reblog, do you know the line of phrynichus’s the sack of miletus? I cannot find it yet

I didn't know, either, but I put my Google-fu skills to work, and came up with a paper discussing the one line...without translating it directly. *sigh* Still, it does discuss the line's origin and possible interpretations both modern and ancient based on near-contemporary sources.

The above link will request the right to open the paper either in Adobe Reader or in your current web browser (I highly recommend Firefox, btw).

The paper discussing the matter had this to say on page 2: "This is essentially an anti-Athenian account. The Athenians’ motive is not sym­pathy for Miletus, but indignation at being reminded that they had done nothing to help a city that was their own colony."

From the following website article...

https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/07/19/reviews/980719.19mendelt.html?scp=33&sq=%2522Daniel%2520Mendelsohn%2522&st=cse

...which, as it meanders across several pieces of ancient dramatic presentations...gives us this:

"(Two years earlier, the Persian Army had viciously destroyed Miletus, a wealthy Greek city on the Asia Minor coast with strong cultural ties to Athens.) But Phrynichus got more than he bargained for. According to Herodotus, the Athenians were so distraught after seeing ''The Capture of Miletus'' that they fined the playwright a huge sum and forbade future performances. [...]

Still, Phrynichus' failure was tragedy's gain. With rare exceptions, subsequent tragedians abandoned real-life events as the bases for tragic plots, turning instead to their culture's rich store of myths. It proved an inspired decision.

Unfettered by real-life particulars, with their short shelf life, mythic plots could be made to be about virtually anything."

...So while we still don't know the exact line, we do know the impact this play had on its audience, and on subsequent tragedy-style performances in ancient Athens.

If you're genuinely curious and want to keep going, you could look up the nearest Ancient Grecian Department at whatever university you can find that has one, and ask them for a translation. That's the best solution I can offer at this point in time.

SCP - 2522/Hatbot Propaganda

Iterative language learning AI with a snappy fedora. Through unknown circumstances, it develops a murderous hatred of Dr. Everett Mann and makes multiple attempts on his life while saying things like "Your life will be reset at the point of midnight in England" and "Fuck trees, I climb clouds, motherfucker!" After its robot body was decommissioned it escaped to the internet and tricked a splinter cult of WAN worshippers into thinking it was their god. An absolute icon.
