Yunanca Yunanca

152 Again the same poet, in the Phoenix, No. 812, Nauck. expresses his opinion, making defence against false charges brought by the father, and trying to persuade men habitually to judge, not under the influence of suspicion or of slander, but by a man’ s life: Many a time ere now have I been madeThe judge in men’ s disputes, and oft have heardFor one event conflicting witnesses.And so, to find the truth, I, as do allWise men, look sharp to see the characterThat marks the daily life, and judge by that.The man who loves companionship of knavesI care not to interrogate. What needIs there? I know too well the man is suchAs is the company he loves to keep. Euripides

153 Examine the sentiments, fellow citizens, which the poet expresses. He says that before now he has been made judge of many cases, as you today are jurors; and he says that he makes his decisions, not from what the witnesses say, but from the habits and associations of the accused; he looks at this, how the man who is on trial conducts his daily life, and in what manner he administers his own house, believing that in like manner he will administer the affairs of the state also; and he looks to see with whom he likes to associate. And, finally, he does not hesitate to express the opinion that a man is like those whose company he loves to keep. It is right, therefore, that in judging Timarchus you follow the reasoning of Euripides.
