“No shame in running,
fleeing disaster, even in pitch darkness.
Better to flee from death than feel its grip.”
XIV. 80–81 (tr. Robert Fagles).
Richmond Lattimore's translation:
: There is no shame in running, even by night, from disaster.
The man does better who runs from disaster than he who is caught by it.
Iliad (c. 750 BC)
