Translation: They say that Alexander razed
Thebes to the ground and, sparing only priests and priestesses, enslaved the rest; and they say that he protected the house of the poet
Pindar and the descendants of
Pindar from harm, out of reverence for
Pindar -- so says Arrian the historian in book 1 of his
Anabasis of Alexander.
