Note:
[1] As Adler notes, Bernhardy reckoned that the subject of this (unattributable) quotation is Epameinondas of
Thebes (
epsilon 1949), who had such an effect on the Spartans in the aftermath of their defeat at
Leuktra (371 BCE); see generally
Xenophon,
Hellenica 6.5.24ff. (web address 1). However, the quotation has already appeared at
nu 389 (q.v.).
