Διονυσιάζουσαι (fr. 6)
53
ίο once he realizes that Telephus was poorer than he is,
then endures his poverty more easily.
One who suffers from madness thinks of Alcmeon.
Someone has an eye disease? Phineus’ sons are blind.
Someone’s child has died? Niobe can console him.
is Someone is a cripple? he looks at Philoctetes.
An old man falls in hard times? he learns about Oineus.
For when a person understands that all the misfortunes
that have happened to other people are worse than his own,
will then groan less about his own calamities
[1-19] Ath. 6.223b
