Quotation
Τί δέ; εἶπεν ὁ Φίλιππος, ὦ παῖ, πάνυ γὰρ ἡδέως ἀκούω σου τὰ τοιαῦτα λέγοντος, οὐδὲ οἴκησιν ἀξιοῖς κατεσκευάσθαι τὸν βασιλέα πρὸς ἡδονὴν κεκοσμημένην χρυσῷ καὶ ἠλέκτρῳ καὶ ἐλέφαντι τοῖς πολυτίμοις; Οὐδαμῶς, εἶπεν, ὦ πάτερ, πολὺ δὲ μᾶλλον σκύλοις τε καὶ ὅπλοις πολεμίων ἀνδρῶν· καὶ τά γε ἱερὰ τοιούτοις κόσμοις κοσμοῦντα τοὺς θεοὺς1 ἱλάσκεσθαι καθάπερ ὁ Ἕκτωρ ἠξίου, προκαλούμενος τὸν ἄριστον τῶν Ἀχαιῶν· ὅτι κρατήσας τὸ μὲν σῶμα ἀποδώσει τοῖς συμμάχοις, τὰ δὲ ὅπλα, ἔφη, σκυλεύσω,καὶ κρεμόω ποτὶ νηὸν Ἀπόλλωνος ἑκάτοιο.
