Ha, I hadn't heard those versions; the one I'm familiar with is more along the lines of "You break it, you buy it" -- Long story of whatever sort, punch line: "Hey! Euripides, EuMENIDES!"
And I love the rather casual mention of a bunch of Ino being carved on an Albanian cliff. Wonderful fandom. And of course so much of Euripides’s and his mates’ work is Greek pantheon fan-fic.

Guy #1: I have these fragments here. Guy #2: Euripedes? Euripedes/Guy #1: Yeah. Eumenides? Eumenides/Guy #2: Yeah, five drachmas.
