BIAS It seems almost certain that this anecdote is the same as that told of Anaxibius by Xenophon, Hellenica, iv. 8. 32-39, but if so, the name is out of alphabetical order, and the mistake must be ancient.

22.1 Bias, caught in an ambush by Iphicrates the Athenian general, and asked by his soldiers what was to be done, said, What else except for you to save your lives and for me to die fighting?

BRASIDAS See the note on Moralia, 190 B, supra.

23.1 Brasidas caught a mouse among some figs, and, when he got bitten, let it go. Then, turning to those who were present, he said, There is nothing so small that it does not save its life if it has the courage to defend itself against those who would lay hand on it. Ibid. (1).

23.2 In a battle he was wounded by a spear which pierced his shield, and, pulling the weapon out of the wound, with this very spear he slew his foe. Asked how he got his wound, he said, ’Twas when my shield turned traitor. Ibid. (2).

23.3 As he was going forth to war he wrote to the Ephors, What I wull to dae I’ll dae as regairds the war or be a deid mon.
