οὐ πάνυ γὰρ εἰώθασιν ἐπιτίθεσθαι τοῖς νικῶσιν οὐδὲ τοῖς εὐτυχοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ τούτους μὲν θαυμάζουσι καὶ φοβοῦνται, τῶν δὲ ἀποτυχόντων καταφρονοῦσιν οἵ τε ἔξωθεν καί τινες τῶν ἀναγκαίων. φαίνεται δὲ Ἀγαμέμνων ὑπὸ τῆς γυναικὸς ὑπεροφθεὶς διὰ τὴν ἧτταν, ὅ τε Αἴγισθος ἐπιθέμενος αὐτῷ καὶ κρατήσας ῥᾳδίως, οἵ τε Ἀργεῖοι καταλαβόντες τὸ πρᾶγμα καὶ τὸν Αἴγισθον βασιλέα ἀποδείξαντες, οὐκ ἄν εἰ μετὰ τοσαύτης δόξης καὶ δυνάμεως ἀφικόμενον τὸν Ἀγαμέμνονα ἀπέκτεινε, κρατήσαντα τῆς Ἀσίας.
