Γύναι, γυναιξὶ κόσμον ἡ σιγὴ φέρει. Φράσω δὲ τὸ πλῆθος ἑκατέρων τῶν στρατευμάτων. Ευθὺς οὖν με ἰδὼν ὁ Κέφαλος ήσπάζετο. Ο Φαρνάβαζος, ἀναβὰς ἐπὶ τὸν ἵππον, ἀπῄει. El Κριθὴν τὴν τοῦ ἵππου ὁ ἱπποκόμος κλέπτων καὶ πωλῶν, τὸν ἵππον ἔτριβε πασας ἡμέρας· ἔφη δὲ ὁ ἵππος θέλεις ἀληθῶς καλὸν εἶναί με, τὴν κριθὴν τὴν τρέφουσαν μὴπώλει. Xenophon. Κῦρος μὲν οὖν οὕτως ἐτελεύτησεν, ἀνὴρ ὢν Περσῶν τῶν μετὰ Κῦρον τὸν ἀρχαῖον γενομένων, βασιλικώτατός τε καὶ ἄρχειν ἀξιώτατος, ὡς παρὰ πάντων ὁμολογεῖται τῶν Κύρου δοκούντων ἐν πείρα γενέσθαι. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ἔτι παῖς ὤν, ὅτ ̓ ἐπαιδεύετο καὶ σὺν τῷ ἀδελφᾷ καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις παισί, πάντων πάντα κράτιστος ἐνομίζετο. πάντες γὰρ οἱ τῶν ἀρίστων Περσῶν παῖδες ἐπὶ ταῖς βασιλέως θύραις παιδεύονται· ἔνθα πολλὴν μὲν σωφροσύνην καταμάθοι ἄν τις, αἰσχρὸν δ ̓ οὐδὲν οὔτ ̓ ἀκοῦσαι οὔτ ̓ ἰδεῖν ἔστι. θεῶνται δ ̓ οἱ παῖδες καὶ τοὺς τιμωμένους ὐπὸ βασιλέως καὶ ἀκούουσι, καὶ ἄλλους ἀτιμαζομένους ὥςτε εὐθὺς παῖδες ὄντες μανθάνουσιν ἄρχειν τε καὶ ἄρχεσθαι. ἔνθα Κῦρος αἰδημονέστατος μὲν πρῶτον τῶν ἡλικιωτῶν ἐδόκει εἶναι, τοῖς τε πρεσβυτέροις καὶ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὑποδεεστέρων μᾶλλον πείθεσθαι, ἔπειτα δὲ φιλιππότατος καὶ τοῖς ἵπποις ἄριστα χρῆσθαι· ἔκρινον δ' αὐτὸν καὶ τῶν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον ἔργων, τοξικῆς τε καὶ ἀκοντίσεως, φιλομαθέστατον εἶναι καὶ μελετηρότατον. Homer. Ως φάτο· Πάτροκλος δὲ φίλῳ ἐπεπείθεθ ̓ ἑταίρῳ, ἐκ δ ̓ ἄγαγε κλισίης Βρισηίδα καλλιπάρηον, δῶκε δ ̓ ἄγειν· τὼ δ ̓ αὖτις ἴτην παρὰ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν· ἡ δ ̓ ἀέκουσ ̓ ἅμα τοῖσι γυνὴ κίεν· αὐτὰρ Ἀχιλλεὺς δακρύσας, ἑτάρων ἄφαρ ἕζετο νόσφι λιασθείς, θῖν ̓ ἔφ ̓ ἁλὸς πολιῆς, ὁρόων ἐπὶ οἴνοπα πόντον. πολλὰ δὲ μητρὶ φίλῃ ἠρήσατο, χεῖρας ὀρεγνύς· μῆτερ, ἐπεί μ' ἔτεκες γε μινυνθάδιόν περ εόντα, τιμήν πέρ μοι ὄφελλεν Ολύμπιος ἐγγυαλίξαι, Ζεὺς ὑψιβρεμέτης· νῦν δ ̓ οὐδέ με τυτθὸν ἔτισεν. ἡ γὰρ μ' Ατρείδης εὐρυκρείων Αγαμέμνων ἠτίμησεν· ἑλὼν γὰρ ἔχει γέρας, αὐτὸς ἀπούρας. Ως φάτο δακρυχέων, τοῦ δ ̓ ἔκλυε πότνια μήτηρ, ἡμένη ἐν βένθεσσιν ἁλὸς παρὰ πατρὶ γέροντι. καρπαλίμως δ ̓ ἀνέδυ πολιῆς ἁλὸς ἠΰτ ̓ ὀμίχλη, καὶ ῥα πάροιθ' αὐτοῖο καθέζετο δακρυχέ ντος, χειρί τέ μιν κατέρεξεν, ἔπος τ ̓ ἔφατ' ἔκ τ' ὀνόμαζε. Thucydides. Ἡ μὲν ἔκπεμψίς μου καὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς ὑπὸ Λακεδαιμονίων ὦ Ακάνθιοι, γεγένηται τὴν αἰτίαν ἐπαληθεύουσα ἣν ἀρχόμενοι τοῦ πολέμου προείπομεν Αθηναίοις, ἐλευθεροῦντες τὴν ̔Ελλάδα πολεμήσειν· εἰ δὲ χρόνῳ ἐπήλθομεν, σφαλέντες τῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐκεῖ πολέμου δόξης, ᾗ διὰ τάχους αὐτοὶ ἄνευ τοῦ ὑμετέρου κινδύνου ἠλπίσαμεν Αθηναίους καθαιρήσειν, μηδεὶς μεμφθῇ· νῦν γὰρ ὅτε παρέσχεν ἀφιγμένοι καὶ μετὰ ὑμῶν πειρασόμεθα και τεργάζεσθαι αὐτούς. θαυμάζω δὲ τῇ τε ἀποκλῄσει μου τῶν πυλῶν καὶ εἰ μὴ ἀσμένοις ὑμῖν ἀφιγμαι. ἡμεῖς μὲν γὰρ οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι οἰόμενοί τε παρὰ ξυμμάχους καὶ πρὶν ἔργῳ ἀφικέσθαι τῇ γοῦν γνώμῃ ἥξειν, καὶ βουλομένοις ἔσεσθαι κίνδυνόν τε τοσόνδε ἀνεῤῥίψαμεν, διὰ τῆς ἀλλοτρίας πολλῶν ἡμερῶν ὁδὸν ἰόντες καὶ πᾶν τὸ πρόθυμον παρεχόμενοι· ὑμεῖς δὲ εἴ τι ἄλλο ἐν νῷ ἔχετε, ἢ εἰ ἐναντιώσεσθε τῇ τε ὑμετέρᾳ αὐτῶν ἐλευθερίᾳ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων Ελλήνων, δεινὸν ἂν εἴη. καὶ γὰρ οὐ μόνον ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἀνθίστασθε, ἀλλὰ καὶ οἷς ἂν ἐπίω, ἧσσόν τις ἐμοὶ πρόσεισι, δυςχερὲς ποιούμενοι εἰς ἐπὶ οὓς πρῶτον ἦλθον ὑμᾶς καὶ πόλιν ἀξιόχρεων παρ χομενους καὶ ξύνεσιν δοκοῦντας ἔχειν μὴ ἐδέξασθε· καὶ τὴν αἰτίαν οὐχ ἕξω πιστὴν ἀποδεικνύναι, ἀλλ ̓ ἢ ἄδικον τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἐπιφέρειν ἢ ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἀδύνατος τιμωρῆσαι τὰ πρὸς Ἀθηναίους, ἣν ἐπίωσιν, ἀφῖχθαι. Æschylus. καὶ πολλαχῆ γε δυσπάλαιστα πράγματα. σὺ μὲν, πάτερ γεραιὲ τῶνδε παρθένων, For Greek Iambics : This way the noise was, if mine ear be true, Such as the jocund flute or gamesome pipe For Greek Prose : It was about ten o'clock when the battle began; the first charge was given by the prince who with his own and his brother's troop performed it with his usual vigour, and was so well seconded that he bore down all before him. The right wing of horse and foot being engaged and advanced, the left wing advanced in five bodies with equal resolution and was encountered by the right wing of the enemy's horse with seven bodies greater and more numerous than either of the other; and had, besides the odds in number, the advantage of the ground; for the king's horse were obliged to march up the hill before they could charge them; yet they did their duty as well as the place and great inequality of numbers would enable them to do.
