Drinking Songs (Carmen Convivialia, 913)
“Mortal man doesn’t need much: only to love and to eat.”
οὐ χρὴ πόλλ᾿ ἔχειν θνητὸν ἄνθρωπον / ἀλλ᾿ ἐρᾶν καὶ κατεσθίειν.
Carm. Conv.905
“The prostitute and the bath-attendant have the same bad habit
They wash the good man and the bad man in the very same tub.”
πόρνη καὶ βαλανεὺς τωὐτον ἔχουσ᾿ ἐμπεδέως ἔθος
ἐν ταῦτᾳ πυέλῳ τόν τ᾿ ἀγαθὸν τόν τε κακὸν λόει
