Numéro d’image : 13453550
| 17th century illustration of Cleobulus of Lindos, Greek poet and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He was said to have studied philosophy in Egypt. Of his apophthegms, the following are the most celebrated. Ignorance and talkativeness bear the chief sway among men. Opportunity will be the most powerful. Cherish not a thought. Do not be fickle, or ungrateful. He used to say too, that men ought to give their daughters in marriage while they were girls in age, but women in sense; as indicating by this that girls ought to be well educated. Another of his sayings was, that one ought to serve a friend that he may become a greater friend; and an enemy, to make him a friend. He had a daughter, Cleobulina, who found fame as a poet, composing riddles in hexameter verse. He is said to have lived to the age of seventy, and to have been greatly distinguished, for strength and beauty of person. Below the image, is a seven line latin poem by Roman poet Ausonius. Print by Dutch artist Jacob de Gheyn in 1616. | |
