[120]
Again, there was
Alexander of Thessaly.1 At the time when he had imprisoned
Pelopidas, and was holding him captive, when he was the most bitter enemy of the
Thebans, when his feelings towards you were so fraternal that he applied to you
for a commander, when you gave aid to his arms, when it was Alexander here and
Alexander there,—why, gracious heavens! if anybody had moved that
whoever killed Alexander should be liable to seizure, would it have been safe
for any man to try to give him due punishment for his subsequent violence and
brutality?
