Περὶ τῆς Ἀλεξάνδρου τύχης ἢ ἀρετῆς λόγος Α, λόγος Β Plutarch
2.7 AntigenesRepeated in Moralia, 181 a; but told of Eurylochus in Life of Alexander, chap. xli. (689 b). joined himself with those who were being sent back to Macedonia because of sickness or wounds, Cf.Life of Alexander, chap. lxxi. (704 b). and had himself enrolled among them; but when, however, it was discovered that he had nothing wrong with him, but was feigning some infirmity, and it was seen that he was a stout fighting man whose body was covered with wounds, the matter vexed Alexander. When he asked the reason for such conduct, Antigenes confessed that he was in love with Telesippa, and was accompanying her to the sea, since he could not be left behind if she went away. Whose is she? asked Alexander, and to whom must we speak? Antigenes replied that she was free-born. Then, said Alexander, let us persuade her with promises and presents to remain behind. So ready was he with an excuse for every lover rather than for himself.
