Pacuvius, fr. 11
Zethus: “I hate all men of base deeds and philosophical speech.”
Odi ego homines ignava operaet philosopha sententia
Pacuvius fr, 47-8
“For a dog, when it is hit by a rock, doesn’t retaliate against the man
Who threw it, but instead it lashes out at the stone that hit it.”
Nam canis, quando est percussa lapida, non tam illum adpetit
Qui sese icit, quam illum eumpse lapidem, qui ipsa icta est, petit
