Conflict Resolution

Euripides, Suppliant Women 748-749 (tr. Edward P. Coleridge):
Ye cities likewise, though ye might by parley end your mischief,
yet ye choose the sword instead of reason to settle all disputes.

πόλεις τ᾿, ἔχουσαι διὰ λόγου κάμψαι κακά,
φόνῳ καθαιρεῖσθ᾿, οὐ λόγῳ, τὰ πράγματα.
Christopher Collard ad loc.:
