ἐνθυμοῦ δʼ, ἵνα τι καὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων εἴπωμεν, ὅτι τὸν Ταντάλου πλοῦτον καὶ τὴν Πέλοπος ἀρχὴν καὶ τὴν Εὐρυσθέως δύναμιν οὐδεὶς ἂν οὔτε λόγων εὑρετὴς οὔτε ποιητὴς ἐπαινέσειεν, ἀλλὰ μετά γε τὴν Ἡρακλέους ὑπερβολὴν καὶ τὴν Θησέως ἀρετὴν τοὺς ἐπὶ Τροίαν στρατευσαμένους καὶ τοὺς ἐκείνοις ὁμοίους γενομένους ἅπαντες ἂν εὐλογήσειαν.
