Woman: "A boundless Joy to Sailors"?? said Simonides 630 BC
On a tombstone: "Here lies Timocreon still after much eating, drinking, and speaking ill of others".
Other short excerpts from classic Greek literature. On Death, Birth, Life, Weddings. From Menander (3rdcentury BC): "My son, you do not see how everything that dies, dies by its own corruption: all that injures is within. Rust is the poison of iron; moths of wool; and worms of wood; in you there is a poison most deadly, which has made you sick to death, and makes you still and shall make: envy".
