Wise Apollo knew that hungry dogs hunt best, light dogs run best, that lean Pegasus is more durable than a heavy riding horse, that fire must be carved from flint. Therefore he rewarded his favorites doomed to poverty, ennobled their souls at the cost of their bodies, and gave them to live a little to live forever.

Romanian

"Înțeleptul Apollo știa că cel mai bine vânează câinii flămânzi, cel mai bine aleargă cei ușori, că slăbuțul Pegasus este mai rezistent decât calul greu de călărie, că din silex trebuie sculptat foc. De aceea, el i-a răsplătit pe favoriții săi sortiți sărăciei, le-a înnobilat sufletele cu prețul corpurilor lor și le-a dat să trăiască puțin pentru a trăi veșnic."
