While if on the other
hand we refuse to speak of a dead man as happy, and Solon's words do not mean this, but
that only when a man is dead can one safely call him blessed as being now beyond the reach
of evil and misfortune, this also admits of some dispute; for it is believed that some
evil and also some good can befall the dead, just as much as they can happen to the living
without their being aware of it— for
instance honors, and disgraces, and the prosperity and misfortunes of their children and
their descendants in general.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
