Death & Dying
Book VII, 426
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
A, “Tell, lion, thou slayer of kine, on whose tomb thou standest there and who was worthy of thy valour.” B. “Teleutias, the son of Theodorus, who was far the most valiant of men, as I am judged to be of beasts. Not in vain stand I here, but I emblem the prowess of the man, for he was indeed a lion to his enemies.”
