Polybius [writes]: "most men do not try to imitate the achievements of the fortunate, but by striving for the inessentials they make a spectacle out of their own lack of judgment."[1]
And elsewhere: "not only did they make a spectacle out of themselves, but they also brought catastrophe to Greece."[2]
Θεατρίζω: αἰτιατικῇ. καὶ Ἐκθεατρίζουσι, τὸ ἐξελέγχουσι. Πολύβιος: οἱ δὲ πολλοὶ τὰ μὲν ἔργα τῶν εὐτυχούντων οὐ πειρῶνται μιμεῖσθαι, τὰ δὲ πάρεργα ζηλοῦντες ἐκθεατρίζουσι τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀκρισίαν. καὶ αὖθις: οὐ μόνον ἑαυτοὺς ἐξεθεάτρισαν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα κατέστρεψαν.
