| Quotation |
6 Nec ab iratis dis, quos parui semper penderat quorumque aras templa et simulacra subuerterat, quin electissimam ut ipsi uidebatur mortem adipisceretur, potuit inpediri. 7 Nam die nuptiarum cum ad ludos magnifice apparatos inter duos Alexandros filium generumque contenderet, a Pausania nobili Macedonum adulescente in angustiis sine custodibus circumuentus occisus est. |
| Translation |
6. Not even the angry Gods, to whom he had always paid scant regard
and whose altars, temples, and idols he had destroyed, could stop him from
obtaining that which he thought the most desirable of deaths.
7. For when
on the day of the wedding, he was walking to the magnificently produced
games between the two Alexanders, his son and son‐in‐law, he was waylaid
without his bodyguards in a narrow passage by Pausanias, a young Macedonian noble, and killed. |
