This is what it means to be a slave: to be abused and bear it, compelled by violence to suffer wrong

Euripides, one of the great tragedians of ancient Greece, often explored themes of power, oppression, and the human condition in his plays. In his works, he frequently depicted the struggles of individuals who were marginalized, oppressed, or enslaved by those in positions of authority. The quote "This is what it means to be a slave: to be abused and bear it, compelled by violence to suffer wrong" encapsulates the essence of the suffering and dehumanization experienced by slaves in Euripides' plays.
