51.5 When he was bent on marrying a second wife, his children inquired whether he had any fault to find with them. By no means, he said, but only praise—and the desire to have other children like you. Cf. Moralia, 480 D. Plutarch in his Life of Cato Major, chap. xxiv. (351 B), says that Cato as well as Peisistratus made his remark.

DEMETRIUS OF PHALERUM Governor of Athens under the Macedonians, 317-307 B.C.

52.1 Demetrius of Phalerum recommended to Ptolemy the king to buy and read the books dealing with the office of king and ruler. For, as he said, those things which the kings’ friends are not bold enough to recommend to them are written in the books.

LYCURGUS Early lawgiver of the Spartans.

53.1 Lycurgus, the Spartan, introduced the custom among his citizens of wearing their hair long, saying that it made the beautiful more comely and the ugly more frightful. Cf. Moralia, 228 F, infra, Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xxii. (53 D) and Life of Lysander, chap. i. (434 A). The Spartan custom of wearing the hair long is often referred to; for example Moralia, 189 F and 230 B, infra, Xenophon, Constitution of Sparta, xi. 3.

53.2 To the man who urged him to create a democracy in the State his answer was, Do you first create a democracy in your own house. Repeated in Moralia, 155 D, 22 D, and Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xix. (52 A).
