Again�察�without some moiety of faith and trust�撮�1�А�how can a man not
feel to be defrauded of a mighty blessing�拭 �One may well ask�此 �What
fellowship�察 �what converse�察 �what society would be agreeable without

Well�察 �then�察 �of this frank confidence in others the tyrant has the
scantiest share。��3�А�Seeing his life is such�察�he cannot even trust his meats
and drinks�察 �but he must bid his serving´men before the feast begins�察 �or
ever the libation to the gods is poured�撮�4�А�to taste the viands�察�out of sheer
mistrust there may be mischief lurking in the cup or platter。��5�А 。�3�А �Or�察�

Once more�察 �the rest of mankind find in their fatherland a treasure
worth all else beside。 The citizens form their own body´guard��6�А�without
pay or service´money against slaves and against evil´doers。 It is theirs to
see that none of themselves�察 �no citizen�察 �shall perish by a violent death。
And they have advanced so far along the path of guardianship��7�А�that in
many cases they have framed a law to the effect that ;not the associate
even of one who is blood´guilty shall be accounted pure。; So that�察 �by
reason of their fatherland�撮�8�А �each several citizen can live at quiet and

But for the tyrant it is again exactly the reverse。��9�А�Instead of aiding or
avenging their despotic lord�察�cities bestow large honours on the slayer of a
tyrant�察 �ay�察 �and in lieu of excommunicating the tyrannicide from sacred
shrines�撮�10�А�as is the case with murderers of private citizens�察�they set up
statues of the doers of such deeds��11�А�in temples。
��9�А �Matters are once more reversed precisely�察─ �it is all 'topsy´
turvy。';
��10�А �And sacrifices。; Cf。 Dem。 ;c。 Lept。; 137�察 。�en toinun tois peri
touton nomois o Drakon 。 。 。 katharon diorisen einai��。 ;Now in the
laws upon this subject�察�Draco�察�although he strove to make it fearful
and dreadful for a man to slay another�察 �and ordained that the
homicide should be excluded from lustrations�察 �cups�察 �and drink´
offerings�察 �from the temples and the market´place�察 �specifying
everything by which he thought most effectually to restrain people
from such a practice�察�still did not abolish the rule of justice�察 �but laid
down the cases in which it should be lawful to kill�察�and declared that
the killer under such circumstances should be deemed pure; ��C。 R。
Kennedy��。
��11�А �e。g。 Harmodius and Aristogeiton。 See Dem。 loc。 cit。 138�此 �The
same rewards that you gave to Harmodius and Aristogiton�察─�
concerning whom Simonides himself wrote a votive couplet�此�
��'E meg' 'Athenaioisi phoos geneth' enik' 'Aristogeiton
'Ipparkhon kteine kai 'Armodios。��
But if you imagine that the tyrant�察 �because he has more possessions
than the private person�察�does for that reason derive greater pleasure from
them�察�this is not so either�察�Simonides�察�but it is with tyrants as with athletes。
Just as the athlete feels no glow of satisfaction in asserting his superiority
over amateurs�撮�12�А �but annoyance rather when he sustains defeat at the
hands of any real antagonist�察�so�察�too�察�the tyrant finds little consolation in
the fact��13�А �that he is evidently richer than the private citizen。 What he
feels is pain�察�when he reflects that he has less himself than other monarchs。
These he holds to be his true antagonists�察�these are his rivals in the race for
wealth。
��12�А �Or�察 �It gives no pleasure to the athlete to win victories over

��13�А�Or�察 �each time it is brought home to him that�察─�etc。
Nor does the tyrant attain the object of his heart's desire more quickly
than do humbler mortals theirs。 For consider�察 �what are their objects of
ambition�拭�The private citizen has set his heart�察�it may be�察 �on a house�察 �a
farm�察 �a servant。 The tyrant hankers after cities�察 �or wide territory�察 �or
harbours�察 �or formidable citadels�察 �things far more troublesome and more
perilous to achieve than are the pettier ambitions of lesser men。
