remonstrance
From LSJ
οἴνῳ τὸν οἶνον ἐξελαύνειν → chase out the wine with wine, take a hair of the dog that bit you, try to drive out the wine with wine
English > Greek (Woodhouse)
subs. P. ἀντιλογία, ἡ, σχετλιασμός, ὁ (Thuc. 8, 53): see protest. You cease not despite my remonstrance: V. καὶ ταῦτʼ ἐμοῦ λέγοντος οὐκ ἀφίστασαι (Eur., El. 66). Not without remonstrance on my part: V. ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐπʼ ἀρρήτοις γε τοῖς ἐμοῖς λόγοις (Soph., Ant. 556). Let be, wasted are all words of remonstrance: V. ἴτω· περισσοὶ πάντες οὑν μέσῳ λόγοι (Eur., Med. 819).
