num cum Dictaeis bellum Corybantibus asper Samnitis Marsusque levi sudore gerebat? num mastigophoris oleoque et gymnadis arte unctis pugilibus miles pugnabat Etruscus? nec petaso insignis poterat Lacedaemone capta Mercurius servare suas de clade palaestras.
Was it war, costing such slight exertion, that the rough Samnite and Marsian waged with the Corybantes of Dicte? Did the Etruscan soldiery fight with constables or with boxers smeared with oil according to the athletes art? Even Mercury of the broad hat could not save his wrestling-schools from defeat when Lacedaemon was taken.
