26.27 Once on a campaign he slept for an unusually long time, and later, when he arose, he said, I slept safely, for Antipater was awake. Cf. Athenaeus, p. 435 D.

26.28 On another occasion when he was asleep in the daytime, and the Greeks who had gathered at his doors were indignant and complaining, Parmenio said,Do not be astonished that Philip is asleep now; for while you were asleep he was awake. Something remotely like this is told of ALexander in Plutarch’s Life of Alexander, chap. xxxi. (683 E).

26.29 When he desired to correct a harp-player at dinner, and to discuss the playing of this instrument, the harp-player said, God forbid, Your Majesty, that you should ever fall so low as to have a better knowledge of these matters than I. The story is found also in Moralia, 67 F, 334 D, and 634 D.

26.30 At a time when he was at odds with Olympias, his wife, and with his son, Demaratus of Corinth arrived, and Philip inquired of him how the Greeks were feeling towards one another. And Demaratus said, Much right have you to talk about the harmony of the Greeks when the dearest of your own household feel so towards you ! Philip, taking the thought to heart, ceased from his anger, and became reconciled with them. Cf. Moralia, 70 B (which omits the conclusion) and Plutarch’s Life of Alexander, chap. ix. (669 C).
