[87] ἐμιμήσω τοὺς Διοσκούρους εἰς φιλαδελφίαν; ἵνα ἐντεῦθεν ἄρξωμαι. τὸν μὲν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συγκληρονόμον ἐν ἀκμῇ τῆς πρώτης ἡλικίας, ὦ σιδήρειε καὶ ἀνηλεέστατε,
ὠμῶς ἀπέσφαξας, τὰς δ’ ἀδελφὰς ὕστερον ἐφυγάδευσας· μὴ καὶ αὗται τὸν περὶ ἀφαιρέσεως ἀρχῆς φόβον εἰργάζοντό σοι; ἐμιμήσω Διόνυσον;

On the Virtues and on the Office of Ambassadors. Adressed to Caius First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 4. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 87 focus

[87] Have you imitated the twin sons of Jupiter in their brotherly affection, that I may begin with that point? Did you not rather, O hard-hearted and most pitiless of men! inhumanly slaughter your brother, the joint inheritor of the kingdom with you, even before he had arrived at the full vigour of manhood, when he was still in early youth. Did you not afterwards banish your sisters, lest they also should cause you any reasonable apprehension of the deprivation and loss of your imperial power?
