καὶ ἐὰν μὴ αἰσθήσεσθαι οἴωνται ὅτι δι᾽ αὑτοὺς καὶ ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἔπαθον: ἡ γὰρ ὀργὴ πρὸς τὸν καθ᾽ ἕκαστόν ἐστιν: δῆλον δ᾽ ἐκ τοῦ ὁρισμοῦ: διὸ ὀρθῶς πεποίηται “φάσθαι Ὀδυσσῆα πτολιπόρθιον,
” Hom. Od. 9.504 ὡς οὐ τετιμωρημένος εἰ μὴ ᾔσθετο καὶ ὑφ᾽ ὅτου καὶ ἀνθ᾽
ὅτου: ὥστε οὔτε τοῖς ἄλλοις ὅσοι μὴ αἰσθάνονται ὀργίζονται, οὔτε τοῖς τεθνεῶσιν ἔτι, ὡς πεπονθόσι τε τὸ ἔσχατον καὶ οὐκ ἀλγήσουσιν οὐδ᾽ αἰσθησομένοις, οὗ οἱ ὀργιζόμενοι ἐφίενται: διὸ εὖ περὶ τοῦ Ἕκτορος ὁ ποιητής, παῦσαι βουλόμενος τὸν Ἀχιλλέα τῆς ὀργῆς τεθνεῶτος,
“κωφὴν γὰρ δὴ γαῖαν ἀεικίζει μενεαίνων.
” Hom. Il. 24.54
