Ἡ Κλοπή (The Theft)

Zak! This asks for deeper meditation! It's no wonder you were born in Greece, cradle of pilosophy, land of philosophers.

You write :"they dragged him till he broke" and thereafter: "whoever knows how to break suffers only for a short time";
If I connect these two thoughts it seems rather grim- but then you follow up with "whoever saves himself, never perishes..."

I like the Greek text especially. (remember I read the whole of Odysseus and the books of Herodotos in Greek ), though it was not easy.
It seems even more compact than the english text you delivered

Thanks!

The Greek text, I find beautiful. (Now if only I cld read it)
