Death & Dying
Book XV, 10
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
Death & Dying
How is it we find martyrs in the deep sea? Tell me, ye rocks, tell me, ye long waves, with how many tempests they battled. The ship was broken, the mast fell, the keel sank, the cargo perished.
