Ἀποφθέγματα Λακωνικά Plutarch
2.35 Being asked how he had fostered his great repute, he said, By showing contempt for death. Cf. 216 C (18), infra.
2.36 When someone desired to know why Spartans do battle amidst the sound of fifes, he said, So that, as all keep step to the music, the cowardly and the brave may be plainly seen. Cf. Thucydides, v. 70; Xenophon, Constitution of Sparta, 13. 8; Lucian, On Dancing, 10; Cicero, Tusculan Disputations, ii. 16 (37); Valerius Maximus, ii. 6. 2.
2.37 When someone dwelt upon the great good fortune of the king of Persia, who was a very young man, Agesilaus said, But even Priam at that time of life had not met with misfortune. Cf. Moralia, 113 E.
2.38 When he had brought a great part of Asia under his control, he decided to march against the king himself, so that he might put an end to the king’s spending his time in leisure and corrupting the popular leaders among the Greeks. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Agesilaus, chap. xv. (603 E): Xenophon, Hellenica, iii. 5. 1, and iv. 1. 41, and Agesilaus, 1. 7.
2.39 When he was summoned home by the Ephors because of the war declared against Sparta by the surrounding Greek states, influenced by the money which had been sent to them by the Persian, he said that the good commander ought to be subject to the command of the laws, and sailed away from Asia, leaving behind a great yearning for him among the Greeks there. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Agesilaus, chap. xv. (p. 603 E): Xenophon, Hellenica, iv. 2. 1-3, and Agesilaus, 1. 36: Cornelius Nepos, xvii., Agesilaus, 4. 1-4.
