"the Kingdom of Heaven Within US": Inner (World) Peace in Gilbert Murray's Trojan Women (Theatrical Play 'Euripides: The Trojan Women'‪)‬

I. Prolegomena "Pity is a rebel passion," claims Gilbert Murray. "Its hand is against the strong, against the organised force of society, against conventional sanctions and accepted Gods. It is the Kingdom of Heaven within us fighting against the brute powers of the world; and it is apt to have those qualities of unreason, of contempt for the counting of costs and the balancing of sacrifices, of recklessness, and even, in the last resort, of ruthlessness, which so often marks the paths of heavenly things and the doings of the children of light. It brings not peace, but a sword." (1)
