When Zeno the philosopherZeno of Elea
(Velia in Italy) in the middle of the 5th century B.C.; see the following paragraph.
was suffering the agonies of the torture because of the conspiracy he had entered into against
the tyrant Nearchus and was being asked by Nearchus who his fellow conspirators were, he
replied, "Would that I were as much the master of my body as I am of my tongue!"Const. Exc. 4, pp. 296-297.
When Zeno's native city was being ground down by the tyranny of Nearchus,
Zeno formed a conspiracy against the tyrant. But he was found out, and when he was asked by
Nearchus, while suffering the agonies of the torture, who his fellow conspirators were, he
replied, "Would that I were as much the master of my body as I am of my tongue!" And when the tyrant made the torture more and more severe, Zeno still
withstood it for a while; and then, being eager to be rid at last of the agony and at the same
time to be revenged upon Near

If Sthenius had been accused while present, if
he had been detected in a manifest crime, still, as his accuser did not appear,
Sthenius ought not to have been condemned. In truth, if a defendant could be
condemned though his accuser did not appear, I should not have come from Vibo to
Velia in a little boat through the
weapons of fugitive slaves, and pirates, and through yours, at a time when all that
haste of mine at the peril of my life was to prevent your being taken out of the
list of defendants if I did not appear on the appointed day. If then in this trial
of yours that was the most desirable thing by you,—namely, for me not to
appear when I was summoned, why did you not think that it ought also to serve
Sthenius that his accuser had not appeared? He so managed the matter that the end
entirely correspond

But on this I was inflamed with such eagerness to return, that no oars or winds
could be fast enough for me; not that I thought that I should not arrive in
time, but lest I should be later than I wished in congratulating the republic;
and I quickly arrived at Velia, where
I saw Brutus; how grieved I was, I cannot express. For it seemed to be a
discreditable thing for me myself, that I should venture to return into that
city from which Brutus was departing, and that I should be willing to live
safely in a place where he could not. But he himself was not agitated in the
same manner that I was; for, being elevated with the consciousness of his great
and glorious exploit, he had no complaints to make of what had befallen him,
though he lamented your fate exceedingly. And
