AELIAN (CLAUDIUS AELIANUS)
Roman rhetorician (3rd century or earlier)
|
When Diogenes came to Olympia and perceived some Rhodian youths
dressed with great splendor and magnificence, he said with a
smile of contempt, "This is all arrogance." Afterwards some
Lacedemonians came in his way, as mean and as sordid in their
attire as the dress of the others was rich. "This," said he, "is
also arrogance."
- [Arrogance]
