Πλάτων τ᾽ ἐν Φαίδρῳ φησί: ‘ κόλακι, δεινῷ θηρίῳ καὶ βλάβῃ μεγάλῃ, ὅμως ἐπέμιξεν ἡ φύσις ἡδονήν τινα οὐκ ἄμουσον’ Θεόφραστος δ᾽ ἐν τῷ περὶ κολακείας φησὶν ὡς Μύρτις ὁ Ἀργεῖος Κλεώνυμον τὸν χορευτὴν ἅμα καὶ κόλακα προσκαθίζοντα πολλάκις αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς συνδικάζουσι, βουλόμενον δὲ καὶ μετὰ τῶν κατὰ τὴν πόλιν ἐνδόξων ὁρᾶσθαι,
ἔπειθ᾽ ὁ μὲν λέμμ᾽ ἐστίν, ὁ δ᾽ ἕτερον δάκνει.
