"But have recollection of me also. Memory must be attached to a man, if, I suppose, he should experience something delightful ... but if the remembrance of anyone who has received benefits falls away, in no way would this man be noble".[2]
And again: "a mother, disowning the remembrance of her birth pangs, killed her son who had left the battle after the destiny [= death] of companions".[3]
Greek Original:Μνῆστις: μνήμη. ἀλλ' ἴσχε κἀμοῦ μνῆστιν. ἀνδρί τοι χρεὼν μνήμην προσεῖναι, τερπνὸν εἴ τι που πάθοι. ὅτου δ' ἀπορρεῖ μνῆστις εὖ πεπονθότος, οὔπως γένοιτ' ἂν οὗτος εὐγενὴς ἀνήρ. καὶ αὖθις: μήτηρ υἷα λιπόντα μάχην μετὰ πότμον ἑταίρων ἔκτανεν ὠδίνων μνῆστιν ἀνηναμένη.
