Examples

  • οἰνοφλυγία γὰρ καὶ γαστριμαργία καὶ λαγνεία καὶ ὀψοφαγία καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα περὶ τὰσ εἰρημένασ ἐστὶν αἰσθήσεισ, εἰσ ἅπερ μόρια ἡ ἀκολασία διαιρεῖται. (Aristotle, Eudemian Ethics, Book 3 69:2)
  • δοῦλοι γάρ εἰσι καὶ οὗτοι, ἔφη ὁ Σωκράτησ, καὶ πάνυ γε χαλεπῶν δεσποτῶν, οἱ μὲν λιχνειῶν, οἱ δὲ λαγνειῶν, οἱ δὲ οἰνοφλυγιῶν, οἱ δὲ φιλοτιμιῶν τινων μώρων καὶ δαπανηρῶν, ἃ οὕτω χαλεπῶσ ἄρχει τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὧν ἂν ἐπικρατήσωσιν, ὥσθ’ ἑώσ μὲν ἂν ὁρῶσιν ἡβῶντασ αὐτοὺσ καὶ δυναμένουσ ἐργάζεσθαι, ἀναγκάζουσι φέρειν ἃ ἂν αὐτοὶ ἐργάσωνται καὶ τελεῖν εἰσ τὰσ αὑτῶν ἐπιθυμίασ, ἐπειδὰν δὲ αὐτοὺσ ἀδυνάτουσ αἴσθωνται ὄντασ ἐργάζεσθαι διὰ τὸ γῆρασ, ἀπολείπουσι τούτουσ κακῶσ γηράσκειν, ἄλλοισ δ’ αὖ πειρῶνται δούλοισ χρῆσθαι. (Xenophon, Works on Socrates, , chapter 1 23:1)
  • τοῦ δὲ μὴ δουλεύειν γαστρὶ μηδ’ ὕπνῳ καὶ λαγνείᾳ οἰεί τι ἄλλο αἰτιώτερον εἶναι ἢ τὸ ἕτερα ἔχειν τούτων ἡδίω, ἃ οὐ μόνον ἐν χρείᾳ ὄντα εὐφραίνει, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐλπίδασ παρέχοντα ὠφελήσειν ἀεί; (Xenophon, Memorabilia, , chapter 6 9:1)
  • συρεὶσ δὲ διὰ τοῦ πλήθουσ καὶ παντοδαπαῖσ αἰκίαισ ἐξυβρισθεὶσ ἐπὶ μέσησ τῆσ Ῥώμησ ἀποσφάττεται, μῆνασ ὀκτὼ κρατήσασ καὶ ἡμέρασ πέντε, ὃν εἰ συνέβη πλείω βιῶσαι χρόνον, ἐπιλιπεῖν ἂν αὐτοῦ τῇ λαγνείᾳ τὴν ἡγεμονίαν οἶμαι. (Flavius Josephus, De bello Judaico libri vii, 740:1)
