“For, whether it be great virtues or great riches, all things come to one terrible Charybdis.”
πάντα γὰρ μίαν ἱκνεῖται δασπλῆτα Χάρυβδιν,
αί μεγάλαι τ’ ἀρεταὶ καὶ ὁ πλοῦτος.
Simonides, 356
“For, whether it be great virtues or great riches, all things come to one terrible Charybdis.”
πάντα γὰρ μίαν ἱκνεῖται δασπλῆτα Χάρυβδιν,
αί μεγάλαι τ’ ἀρεταὶ καὶ ὁ πλοῦτος.
