[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Xerxes and Artabanos on Life and Death.
Matthew LaPine has left a new comment on your post "Xerxes and Artabanos on Life and Death":
Also good is, "Do and be afraid of everything, and do not, in your considerations, give every factor equal weight. For if you gave every matter that confronts you equal weight, you would never act at all. It is better to confidently confront all eventualities and suffer half of what we dread than to fear every single event before it happens and never to suffer at all." Xerxes, Herodotus, 7.50
