Περὶ Στωικῶν ἐνιγμάτων

Περὶ Στωικῶν ἐνιγμάτων Plutarch
30 Some of the ancients have said, that the same befell Zeno which befalls him who has sour wine which he can sell neither for vinegar nor wine; for his things preferred, as he called them, cannot be disposed of, either as good or as indifferent. But Chrysippus has made the matter yet far more intricate; for he sometimes says, that they are mad who make no account of riches, health, freedom from pain, and integrity of the body, nor take any care to attain them; and having cited that sentence of Hesiod, Work hard, O God-born Perses,Works and Days, 299. he cries out, that it would be a madness to advise the contrary and say, Work not, O God-born Perses.
