Δειπνοσοφισταί Athenaeus of Naucratis

Book 2

6 Ephippus says somewhere or other— A. That load of wine makes you a chatterer. B. That's why they say that drunken men speak truth. And Antiphanes writes— There are only two secrets a man cannot keep, One when he's in love, t' other when he's drunk deep: For these facts are so proved by his tongue or his eyes, That we see it more plainly the more he denies.
