36.1 Eumenes, plotted against by Perseus, was reputed to be dead. When the story was brought to Pergamum, Attalus his brother put on the crown, married his wife, and assumed the rule. But upon learning that his brother was approaching alive, he went to meet him, attended, as was his wont, by his bodyguards, and holding a short spear. Eumenes greeted him kindly and whispered in his ear, —ldquo;Haste not to marry ere you see him dead,—rdquo; Apparently a parody of a line of Sophocles adapted to fit the situation (μήπω μέγ᾽εἴπης, κλτ.). See Nauck, Trag. Graec. Frag., Sophocles, No. 601. and neither said nor did anything else during his whole lifetime to arouse suspicion, but when he died he left to Attalus his wife and his kingdom. As a requital, Attalus reared no child of his own, although many were born, but while still living he transferred the kingdom to Eumenes’ son when the boy became of age. The story is told also in Moralia, 489 E. Cf. also W.S. Ferguson, The Premature Deification of Eumenes II., in Classical Philology, i. p. 231.

PYRRHUS OF EPEIRUS King of Epeirus circa 307-272 B.C.

37.1 The sons of Pyrrhus, when they were children asked their father to whom he intended to leave the kingdom; and he said, To that one of you who keeps his sword sharper. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Pyrrhus, chap. ix. (388 A).

37.2 Being asked whether Python or Caphisias were the better flute-player he said, Polysperchon is the better general. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Pyrrhus, chap. viii. (387 D).

37.3 When he was twice victorious in conflict with the Romans, but lost many of his friends and commanders, he said, If we are victorious over the Romans in one more battle, we are lost! The details may be found ibid. chap. xxii. (397 B). The Pyrrhic victory is like the Cadmean victory, Moralia, 10 A.
