2 * Plutarch's acooimt of this is well known — ^how he ' lost his sister and most of his relations and friends, and those too who were most serviceable to him in his pubho work. Yet he would not yield nor abate his firnmess and greatness of spirit through these afflictions, but was not observed to weep or mourn, or attend the funeral of any of his relations, until he lost Paralus, the last of his legitimate offspring. Crushed by this blow he still tried to preserve his high manner and pride of ...spirit, but when carrying a garland to lay on the corpse he was overpowered by his feelings at the sight of it, so that he burst into wailing and shed copious tears, having never been known to do such a thing before in his life.' • I take this opportunity to raise a question about the last words of Pericles, as reported by Plutarch. He says that as he was on his death- bed those of his friends and the leading citizens {ruy ttoXituc o2 jSAtio-toi) who were sitting round him were speaking of his nobleness and power (t^s &p€T^5 Kal T^s dvvdfMeujs) and going over his victories in war, thinking he was no longer conscious.
