Against Leocrates Perseus (Lycurgus. Minor Attic Orators, Vol. 2. Burtt, J. O., translator. London: William Heinemann, Ltd.; Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1954 (printing).) — 132 focus
[132] Birds at least, which by nature are best fitted for a swift escape, can be seen accepting death in defence of their brood. Hence the words of the old poets:
unknown
But the cowardice of Leocrates has so passed all bounds that he left his country to the enemy.
Nor does the wild fowl let another’s brood
Be laid within the nest that she has built.
