[90] ἀλλὰ καὶ Ἡρακλέα ἐζήλωσας τοῖς ἀκαμάτοις σαυτοῦ πόνοις καὶ ταῖς ἀτρύτοις ἀνδραγαθίαις, εὐνομίας καὶ εὐδικίας εὐθηνίας τε καὶ εὐετηρίας καὶ τῆς τῶν ἄλλων ἀγαθῶν ἀφθονίας, ὧν ἡ βαθεῖα εἰρήνη δημιουργός, ἀναπλήσας ἠπείρους τε καὶ νήσους, ὁ ἀγεννέστατος, ὁ δειλίας μεστός, ὁ τῶν μὲν εἰς εὐστάθειαν καὶ εὐδαιμονίαν
ἁπάντων κενώσας τὰς πόλεις, μεστὰς δὲ τῶν p. 559 Μ εἰς ταραχὰς καὶ θορύβους καὶ τὴν ἀνωτάτω βαρυδαιμονίαν ἀναφήνας;

[90] But I suppose you imitated Hercules in your unwearied labours and your incessant displays of valour and virtue; you, O most wretched of men! having filled every continent and every island with good laws, and principles of justice, and wealth, and comfort, and prosperity, and abundance of other blessings, you, wretched man, full of all cowardice and iniquity, who have emptied every city of all the things which can conduce to stability and prosperity, and have made them full of everything which leads to trouble and confusion, and the most utter misery and desolation.
