ὁ γοῦν Ἡρακλῆς διὰ τὸ βραδύτερος εἶναι πολλῶν καὶ μὴ δύνασθαι
κατὰ πόδας αἱρεῖν τοὺς κακούργους, διὰ τοῦτο ἐφόρει τόξα καὶ
τούτοις ἐχρῆτο ἐπὶ τοὺς φεύγοντας. καὶ ὅς, Ἀλλὰ τὸν Ἀχιλλέα,
ἔφη, ταχὺν ὄντα, φησὶν ὁ ποιητὴς ἀνδρειότατον εἶναι. καὶ πῶς,ἔφη, οἶσθα ὅτι ταχὺς ἦν ὁ Ἀχιλλεύς; τὸν μὲν γὰρ Ἕκτορα ἑλεῖν
οὐκ ἐδύνατο κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν ὅλην διώκων.
Dionis Prusaensis quem vocant Chrysostomum quae exstant omnia, Vol I. Dio Chrysostom. J. de Arnim. Weidmann. Berlin. 1893. Keyboarding.
