Thesauros Literature satire Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων

Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων

Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων Lucian of Samosata
1 "Where shall I make a beginning,” my friend, “and where make an end of relating”Cf. Odyssey9, 14. all that must be done and suffered by those who take salaried posts and are put on trial in the friendship of our wealthy men—if the name of friendship may be applied to that sort of slavery on their part? Iam familiar with much, I may say most, of their experiences, not because I myself have ever tried anything of that kind, for it never became a necessity for me to try it, and, ye gods! I pray it never may; but many of those who have blundered into this existence have talked to me freely, some, who were still in their misery, bewailing the many bitter sufferings which they were then undergoing, and others, who had broken jail, as it were, recalling not without pleasure those they had undergone; in fact they joyed in recounting what they had escaped from.
