Different

Euripides, Medea 579 (tr. E.P. Coleridge):
No doubt I differ from the mass of men on many points.

ἦ πολλὰ πολλοῖς εἰμι διάφορος βροτῶν.
Gennaro Tedeschi ad loc.:
: introduce una forte affermazione. πολλὰ πολλοῖς: poliptoto enfatico, cfr. Aesch. Suppl. 451. διάφορος: si veda Eur. Iph. Aul. 558-559: διάφοροι δὲ φύσεις βροτῶν, / διάφοροι δὲ τρόποι.
