53.20 So strict in those times was the virtue of the women, and so far removed from the laxity of morals which later affected them, Athenaeus, 142 F, quotes Phylarchus at some length regarding the degeneration of the Spartans. that in the earlier days the idea of adultery among them was an incredible thing. There is still recalled a saying of a certain Geradatas, a Spartan of the very early times, who, on being asked by a foreigner what was done to adulterers in their country, since he saw that there had been no legislation by Lycurgus on that subject, said, Sir, there is never an adulterer in our country. But when the other retorted with, Yes, but if there should be? Geradatas said, His penalty is to provide an enormous bull which by stretching his neck over Mount Taygetus can drink from the river Eurotas. And when the other in amazement said, But how could there ever be a bull of that size? Geradatas laughed and said, But how could there ever be an adulterer in Sparta, in which wealth and luxury and adventitious aids to beauty are held in disesteem, and respect and good order and obedience to authority are given the highest place? In part this is in close agreement with Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xv. (49 C), but the main point, which is lacking in the MSS., is usually inserted here by the editors from the Life, See the critical note 2.

53.21 In answer to the man who was insistent that he establish a democracy in the State Lycurgus said, Do you first create a democracy in your own house. Cf. the note on Moralia, 189 E (2), supra.

53.22 When someone inquired why he ordained such small and inexpensive sacrifices to the gods, he said, So that we may honour the Divine powers without ceasing. Cf. the note on Moralia, 172 B, supra.
