Examples

  • 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)
