Description
Excerpt from The Historical Library of Diodorus the Sicilian, in Fifteen Books, Vol. 2 of 2: To Which Are Added the Fragments of Diodorus, and Those Published by H. Valesius, I. Rhodomannus, and F. Ursinus
Having, throughout the whole work, used the common and ac customed liberty of an historian, we have both praised the good, and condemned the bad, as theydlve fallen in our 7: to the end that those whose genius and inclination prompts them to virtue may be the more encouraged to noble actions, in hopes of having the glory of their names continued to all succeeding generations; and, on the other hand, that they who are bent to wickedness may be curbed and restrained from the heat, at least, of their impiety, by those marks of dishonour and disgrace fined upon them.
