Life and death are balanced as it were on the edge of a razor.
Ἐπὶ ξυροῦ ἵσταται ἀκμῆς
...ὄλεθρος...Ἀχαιοῖς ἠὲ βιῶναι.
...ὄλεθρος...Ἀχαιοῖς ἠὲ βιῶναι.

There can be no covenants between men and lions, wolves and lambs can never be of one mind.
Who dares think one thing, and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates of hell.
