Quoted byWalter Pater, Studies in the History of the Rennaissance. 1873.
Description:'The youth tried to rival his gods; and his increased beauty passed back into them. Omnumi pantas theous me helesthai an ten basileos arkhen anti tou kalos einai [later eds. trans as: —'I take the gods to witness, I had rather have a fair body than a king's crown']. That is the form in which one age of the world chose 'the better part' (104)
