Examples

  • οὕτω δὴ μεταβαλὼν ὁ Κάτων καὶ σχῆμα καὶ φωνὴν καὶ λόγον, ἐπειπὼν δὲ πᾶσι τοῖσ ἄλλοισ διατεταμένωσ ὅτι ζῶντοσ αὐτοῦ Πομπήϊοσ οὐ παρέσται μεθ’ ὅπλων εἰσ τὴν πόλιν, ἐκεῖνο τῇ βουλῇ παρέστησεν, ὡσ οὐδέτεροσ μὲν καθέστηκεν οὐδὲ χρῆται λογισμοῖσ ἀσφαλέσιν, ἔστι δὲ ἡ μὲν Μετέλλου πολιτεία μανία δι’ ὑπερβολὴν κακίασ φερομένη πρὸσ ὄλεθρον καὶ σύγχυσιν ἁπάντων, ἡ δὲ Κάτωνοσ ἀρετῆσ ἐνθουσιασμόσ ὑπὲρ τῶν καλῶν καὶ δικαίων ἀγωνιζομένησ. (Plutarch, Cato the Younger, chapter 26 4:1)
