  • εὐφημεῖν χρὴ καὶ στόμα κλῄειν καὶ μαρτυριῶν ἀπέχεσθαι, καὶ τὰ δικαστήρια συγκλῄειν οἷσ ἡ πόλισ ἥδε γέγηθεν, ἐπὶ καιναῖσιν δ’ εὐτυχίαισιν παιωνίζειν τὸ θέατρον. (Aristotle, Choral, anapests1)
  • πρὸσ γὰρ τῷ νεμεσητῷ καὶ ἀγεννέσ, ζῶντα μὲν τιμᾶν καὶ ποιεῖσθαι πολίτην, πεσόντοσ δ’ ὑφ’ ἑτέρου μὴ φέρειν τὴν χαρὰν μετρίωσ, ἀλλ’ ἐπισκιρτᾶν τῷ νεκρῷ καὶ παιωνίζειν, ὥσπερ αὐτοὺσ ἀνδραγαθήσαντασ· (Plutarch, Demosthenes, chapter 22 3:2)
  • εἶτα καὶ προσήκειν ὑπολαμβάνοντεσ τὸν ἐροῦντ’ ἐπὶ τοῖσ τετελευτηκόσι καὶ τὴν ἐκείνων ἀρετὴν κοσμήσοντα μήθ’ ὁμωρόφιον μήθ’ ὁμόσπονδον γεγενημένον εἶναι τοῖσ πρὸσ ἐκείνουσ παραταξαμένοισ, μηδ’ ἐκεῖ μὲν κωμάζειν καὶ παιωνίζειν ἐπὶ ταῖσ τῶν Ἑλλήνων συμφοραῖσ μετὰ τῶν αὐτοχείρων τοῦ φόνου, δεῦρο δ’ ἐλθόντα τιμᾶσθαι, μηδὲ τῇ φωνῇ δακρύειν ὑποκρινόμενον τὴν ἐκείνων τύχην, ἀλλὰ τῇ ψυχῇ συναλγεῖν. (Demosthenes, Speeches 11-20, 406:1)
