Ariston

What then, as Ariston says, is the difference between us and them, save that we go mad over pictures and statues, fools at a dearer rate?

He will show me the philosopher Ariston, who used to lecture from his litter, for he had taken that time to publish his works.

Ariston used to say that he preferred a young man austere to one cheerful and pleasing to the crowd.

Whence, as Ariston said, against the whole tetrachord — pleasure, grief, fear, desire — there is need of much exercise and battle:

Why should I reckon up Ariston for you?

So he brought her with him from Megara to Athens, and with her her three children, Proxenus and Ariston and a daughter whom they now call Phano.

for these women know perfectly well that Proxenus, who died, Ariston, who is still living, and Antidorides the runner, and Phano, formerly called Strybel, who married Theogenes, the king, are children of Neaera.

Apollodorus is ready to receive for examination by the torture the women-servants of Neaera, Thratta and Coccalinê, whom she brought with her from Megara, and those whom she subsequently purchased while living with Stephanus—Xennis, namely, and Drosis—women who have accurate knowledge regarding the children of Neaera, that they are not by Stephanus.

Since, however, he was convicted on all these points before the arbitrator, just as he is now, and proved manifestly guilty of all the charges against him, he puts into the box a false deposition, and writes at the head of it as witnesses the names of people whom I think you will know well when you hear them— Diotimus, son of Diotimus, of Icaria, Archebiades, son of Demoteles, of Halae, Chaeretimu …

For, grievous as was the injury which at that time fell to my lot, it was no more so than the subsequent insults of the defendant.

With gross outrage I have met, men of the jury, at the hands of the defendant, Conon, and have suffered such bodily injury that for a very long time neither my relatives nor any of the attending physicians thought that I should survive.

In this way Ariston married his third wife, after divorcing the second one.

A little later Ariston himself recognized that he had blurted out that speech because of foolishness.

When the boy grew up, Ariston regretted having said that, for he firmly believed Demaratus to be his own son.

So Ariston may say whatever he pleases, gentlemen of the jury, and invent lies against me, but surely your verdict upon me must be based, not on the slanders of the prosecutor, but on a review of the whole of my life.

But if their interpretation of this story tallied with that given by Ariston in the impeachment, they should not surely have prevented the nearest relatives from ejecting Euphemus.

which is what Ariston here attempted to do, when speaking for the prosecution, since he does not even allow me to benefit from those who come forward to help me intending to share in my defence.

his father Ariston was of the lineage of Codrus, the last of the ancient kings of Athens, and his mother Perictione of the lineage of Solon the sage.

It was excellently spoken of you, sons of the man we know, in the beginning of the elegy which the admirer of Glaucon wrote when you distinguished yourselves in the battle of Megara — Sons of Ariston, whose race from a glorious sire is god-like.

And they sent Callimachus the Arcadian, Ariston the Athenian, and Samolas the Achaean.

But when Clearchus had sailed away, those who wanted to betray the city of the Byzantines set about their work,—Cydon, Ariston, Anaxicrates, Lycurgus, and Anaxilaus.
