I Hear a Different Drummer

Aeschylus, Agamemnon 757-758 (tr. Herbert Weir Smyth):
But I hold my own mind and think apart from other men.

δίχα δ᾽ ἄλλων μονόφρων εἰ-
μί.
μονόφρων is a hapax legomenon, defined as "one who has his own judgment, who has personal opinions" in Franco Montanari, The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek (Leiden: Brill, 1995), p. 1362.
