παρὰ τῶν θεῶν: τὸ δὲ γίγνεσθαι διὰ τῶν θεῶν ταῦτ᾽ αὐτὰ μεγάλην ἡδονὴν ποιεῖ καὶ θάρσος ἀμήχανον
καὶ φρόνημα καὶ χαρὰν οἷον αὐγὴν ἐπιγελῶσαν
τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς. οἱ δ᾽ ἄλλως ἔχοντες τῆς μὲν εὐτυχίας
τὸ ἥδιστον κολούουσι, ταῖς δὲ δυστυχίαις ἀποστροφὴν οὐκ ἀπολείπουσιν, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς μίαν καταφυγὴν καὶ λιμένα πράττοντες κακῶς, τὴν διάλυσιν καὶ τὴν ἀναισθησίαν, ἀποβλέπουσιν ὥσπερ εἴ τις ἐν πελάγει
καὶ χειμῶνι θαρρυνῶν ἐπιστὰς λέγοι μήτε τινὰ τὴν
[p. 410] ναῦν ἔχειν κυβερνήτην μήτε τοὺς Διοσκόρους αὐτοῖς
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1895. 6.
