Death & Dying
Book VIII, 128: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
The Graces to the Muses: “What shall we do? Euphemius the statue moulded by our hands is no longer among the living.’ And the Muses to the Graces: “Since Envy is so wicked, let her have this much, but let us swear a sure oath, never again to raise such a statue among men.”
