‘ ἑωυτοῦ ποιεύμενος, καὶ ἄλλα προστιθείς.’ ὁρᾷς ὅτι κακοηθείας προστρίβεται τἀνδρὶ δόξαν, ἴδιον αὐτοῦ βούλευμα ποιεῖσθαι τὸ τοῦ Μνησιφίλου λέγων;
ἔτι δὲ μᾶλλον τῶν Ἑλλήνων καταγελῶν Θεμιστοκλέα μὲν οὔτε φησὶ φρονῆσαι τὸ συμφέρον ἀλλὰ παριδεῖν, ὃς Ὀδυσσεὺς ἐπωνομάσθη διὰ τὴν
φρόνησιν Ἀρτεμισίαν δὲ τὴν Ἡροδότου πολῖτιν,
μηδενὸς διδάξαντος, αὐτὴν ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς ἐπινοήσασαν
Ξέρξῃ προειπεῖν, ὡς ‘οὐχ οἷοί τε πολλὸν χρόνον
ἔσονταί τοι ἀντέχειν οἱ Ἕλληνες, ἀλλά σφεας διασκεδᾷς,
’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
