No hay bestia imbatible como la mujer; ni la llama, ni parda leona tan desvergonzada. οὐδέν ἐστι θηρίον ἀμαχώ- τερον γυναικὸς, οὐδὲ πῦρ, οὐδὲ πόρδαλις ὧδ᾽ ἀναιδὴς.

A fresco depicting a nereid (sea nymph) using a sea panther as a couch. From the Villa Arianna in Pompeii. οὐδέν ἐστι θηρίον γυναικὸς ἀμαχώτερον, οὐδὲ πῦρ, οὐδ᾽ ὧδ᾽ ἀναιδὴς οὐδεμία πόρδαλις. - There is no wild beast harder to fight than a woman, not a conflagration, not even a panther is so ruthless. Aristophanes, Lysistrata 1014-5
