Εὐφήμει, ὦ ἄνθρωπε· ἁσμενέστατα μέντοι αὐτὸ ἀπέφυγον, ὥσπερ λυττῶντά τινα καὶ ἄγριον δεσπότην ἀποδράς → Hush, man, most gladly have I escaped this thing you talk of, as if I had run away from a raging and savage beast of a master
now are you flighty and your wisdom is as folly: V. νῦν γὰρ πέτει τε καὶ φρονῶν οὐδὲν φρονεῖς (Euripides, bacch. 332).
