...I believe that Odysseus’ story
has become greater than his actual suffering
because of Homer’s sweet verse.
for upon his fictions and soaring craft
rests great majesty, and his skill
and deceives with misleading tales.(?)

Isthmian 2
For Xenokrates of Akragas
Winner, Chariot Race, Lines 9 and the footnote
But now she bids us heed the Argive’s adage,{3}
which comes. . . closest to the truth:
“Money, money makes the man,”
{3} The scholion attributes it to Aristodemos the Spartan and quotes Alkaios (fr. 360) (GREEK) “money is the man, and no poor man is noble or honorable”

Encomia Fr. 122, Lines 123 For Theoxenos of TenedosThe same. “And what does Pindar say when he mentions
Theoxenos of Tenedos, who was his beloved?”
One should cull love, my heart,
as appropriate during youth,
but whoever has seen those rays
flashing from Theosxenos’ eyes
and is not flooded with desire
has a black heart forged from adamant or steel
with a cold flame, and is dishonored
by bright-eyed Aphrodite,
or toils compulsively for money,
or with womanly courage
is carried in service to an utterly cold path.{1}
But I, because of her,{2} melt like the wax
of holy bees bitten by the sun’s heat, whenever I look
upon the new-limbed youth of boys.
So, after all, in Tenedos
Persuasion and Grace dwell
in the son of Hagesilas.
Pastor John notes: sick!
