A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: Great treasure halls hath Zeus in heaven,
   From whence to man strange dooms be given,
      Past hope or fear.
   And the end men looked for cometh not,
   And a path is there where no man thought:
      So hath it fallen here.
   
[ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: πολλῶν ταμίας Ζεὺς ἐν Ὀλύμπῳ,
   πολλὰ δ᾽ ἀέλπτως κραίνουσι θεοί:
   καὶ τὰ δοκηθέντ᾽ οὐκ ἐτελέσθη,
   τῶν δ᾽ ἀδοκήτων πόρον ηὗρε θεός.
   τοιόνδ᾽ ἀπέβη τόδε πρᾶγμα.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1415ff (431 BC) [tr. Murray (1906)]
