σε Όθεν ἡ ἐν πάσῃ ἐλευθερίᾳ τεθραμμένοι δι τῶνδέ τε πατέρες καὶ ἡμέτεροι καὶ ἀυτοὶ δυτοι καὶ καλῶς φύντες πολλὰ δὴ καὶ καλὰ ἔργα ἀπεφήσαντο εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους καὶ ἰδίᾳ καὶ δημοσίᾳ, οἰόμενοι δεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐλευθερίας καὶ Ἕλλησιν ὑπὲρ Ἑλλήνων μάχεσθαι καὶ Βαρβά ροις ὑπὲρ ἁπάντων τῶν Ἑλλήνων.” "Hence it is that the fathers of these men and ours also, and they themselves likewise, being nurtured in all freedom and well born, have shown before all men many and glorious deeds in public and private, deeming it their duty to fight for the cause of liberty and the Greeks, even against Greeks, and against Barbarians for all the Greeks." -PLATO: "MENEXENUS." 242387 |
