Andromache
A golden water-vessel Hermione threatens to make Andromache use in menial slave labor as a humiliation.
But if or god or man should haply wish to save thee, thou must atone for thy proud thoughts of happier days now past by humbling thyself and crouching prostrate at my knees, by sweeping out my halls, and by learning, as thou sprinklest water from a golden ewer, where thou now art.
Ion
The golden vessel Ion uses to sprinkle Castalia's water over the temple floor.
No, I will go to the laver, and from golden ewers sprinkle the holy water.
My task is nearly done of sweeping with the laurel broom, so now from a golden ewer will I sprinkle o’er the ground water from Castalia’s gushing spring, scattering the liquid dew with hands from all defilement free.
