2.5 Whenever he heard people blaming or praising, he thought it was no less necessary to inform himself about the ways of those who spoke than of those about whom they spoke. In almost the same words, but with a diffrent turn of the thought, in Xenophon, Agesilaus, 11. 4.

2.6 When he was still a boy, at a celebration of the festival of the naked boys the director of the dance assigned him to an inconspicuous place; and he obeyed, although he was already destined to be king, Plutarch in his Life of Agesilaus, chaps. i. and ii. (596 A and 597 B), says that Agesilaus was brought up as a private citizen and di not become king until after the death of Agis. saying, Good! I shall show that it is not the places that make men to be held in honour, but the men the places. Cf. Moralia, 149 A. In 219, infra the remark is attributed to Damonidas, and Diogenes Laertius, ii. 73, assigns it to Aristippus.

2.7 When a physician prescribed for him an overelaborate course of treatment, not at all simple, he said, Egad, it is not ordained that I must live at all hazards, and I refuse to submit to everything. Cf. the similar attitude of Pompey, 204 B, supra.

2.8 As he was standing at the altar of Athena of the Brazen House sacrificing a heifer, a louse bit him; but he did not turn a hair, and, picking it off, he cracked it openly before the eyes of all, saying, By Heaven, it is a pleasure to kill the plotter even at the altar.

2.9 At another time he saw a mouse being dragged from a hole by a boy who had hold of him, and the mouse turned and bit the hand that held him and escaped; whereupon Agesilaus called the attention of the bystanders to this, and said, When the smallest animal thus defends itself against those who do it wrong, consider what it becomes men to do. Cf. the similar story about Brasidas in Moralia, 79 E, 190 B, and 219 C.
