Euripides, Alcestis (ed. David Kovacs), line 536 (search)
servant goes into the palace, followed by Heracles. Chorus-Leader What are you doing? Faced with such misfortune, Admetus, do you have the stomach to entertain guests? Why are you so foolish? Admetus Yet if I had driven from my house and city a friend who had just arrived, would you have praised me more? No, indeed, since my misfortune would have been in no way lessened, and I would have been less hospitable. And in addition to my ills we would have the further ill that my house would be called a spurner of guests. I myself find in this man the best of hosts whenever I go to thirsty Argos. Chorus-Leader Why then did you conceal your present plight when, as you say yourself, he has come as a friend? Admetus He would never have consented to enter the house if he had known anything of my sorrow. And no doubt someone will think that in doing this I am being foolish and will not approve of me. But my house does not know how to reject or dishonor guests.Exit Admetus into the palace.
