"There also Peisandros came, wishing to see the spirit which deserted him when he was still alive".[1] For he was a coward par excellence. Aristophanes [also] writes: "if you abominate at all the crests and eyebrows of Peisandros".[2] For this man was a coward, yet war-loving and bellicose if there was private gain in it. He was large, and used to be called a Knidian donkey.[3] He wore a triple crest and resplendent armour, wishing to seem brave when he was not.
