Thesmophoriazusae

Aristophanes's play about the festival of Athenian matrons celebrating Demeter and Persephone is a treasure of lyrical poetry. I don't know how faithful is the translation, but the play is enjoyable, even missing  the chorus singing and dancing. An example of the women's chorus praying for Zeus' help:

We hope that they

will win the day

whose words are the best and wisest.

But those who fain

would cheat for gain,

Their solemn oaths forgetting

our ancient laws

and noble cause

and mystic rites upsetting

Who plot for greed

who call the Mede

with secret invitation

I say that these

the gods displease and wrong the Athenian nation.

It is interesting that the drunken women chorus (because the mystic rite was no other than getting drunk in sacred safety) worries about someone betraying the country and calling in the Mede (the Persians). Ancient Greeks were patriotic but, notwithstanding their incessant babble about the essence of goodness, they believed in no God nor in ethical principles, and it was common to betray one's country and help the enemy. But I don't think they ever descended to the depth of impiety of HaAretz columnists that shamelessly glorify Palestinian murderers and call for international intervention against Israel.

I say they certainly displease the gods and wrong the Jewish nation.
