Thesauros Edebiyat satire Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων

Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων

Περὶ τῶν ἐν Μισθῷ συνόντων Lucian of Samosata
28 If a whispering servant accuse you of being the only one who did not praise the mistress’s page when he danced or played, there is no little risk in the thing. So you must raise your thirsty voice like a stranded frog, taking pains to be conspicuous among the claque and to lead the chorus; and often when the others are silent you must independently let drop a well-considered word of praise that will convey great flattery.
28 That a man who is famished, yes, and athirst, should be perfumed with myrrh and have a wreath on his head is really rather laughable, for then you are like the gravestone of an ancient corpse that is getting a feast to his memory. They drench the stones with myrrh and crown them with wreaths, and then they themselves enjoy the food and drink that has been prepared!
