Now the dream of Hipparchus was the following: The night before the
Panathenaic festival, he thought he saw in his sleep a tall and
beautiful man, who stood over him, and read him the following riddle:
|
Bear thou unbearable woes with the all-bearing heart of a lion;
Never, be sure, shall wrong-doer escape the reward of wrong-doing.
|
|
As soon as day dawned he sent and submitted his dream to the
interpreters, after which he offered the averting sacrifices, and then
went and led the procession in which he perished.
