LYCURGUS
Thraciae Rex, fil. Dryantis, qui quod Thracas immoderate vino deditos conspiceret, vites omnes toto regno excicti iussit. Plutarch. in l. de poetarum utilitate. Hinc datus poetis locus fabulae, Lycurgum infestissimo Bacchum odio prosecutum esle, adeo ut nutrices illius in Nysa latentes persequeretur, et Baccho ipsi tantum terroris incusserit, ut praecipiti fugâ traiecto mari in naxmum se receperit: ideoque iustâ numinum irâ Lycurgum in furorem conversum, et tibias sibi succidisse. Virg. Aen. l. 3. v. 13.

Thraces arant, acti quondam regnata Lycurgo.

LYCURGUS

Verum cum civitatem pessime instirutam animadverteret, ad constituendam salubrioribus legibus Remp. animum adiecit. Conscriptis itaque iis, quae longâ peregrinatione didicerat, civitari utlia fore, Delphos sese contulit, ut Dei quoque consilium in re sanctissima exploraret. Cumque Pythia consilium eius a Phoebo maxime probari, Deique potius, quam hominis inventum esle respondislet, alacrior ad peragendum institutum factus, foro armatis aliquot occupato, leges suas profert, quibus cum iam cives mediocriter assuefactos videret, ut quas tulerat leges, aeternas quoque redderet, hanc rationem commentus est. Simulat arduum adhuc quidpiam superesle, quod ad civitatis salntem pertineret, quod tamen inconsulto oraculo aggrediendum non eslet, eaque de causa se Delphos proficisci velle. Interim tamen Reip. interesle, ut leges, quemadmodum latae erant, in reditum suum inviolatae servarentur, idque ita futurum, primum a Regibus, deinde a ceteris omnibus iusiurandum exegit. Profectus itaque Delphos, cum Pythiam respondentem audisset, nihil legibus illis absolntius esle, felicissimamque fore civitatem eam, in qua illae quam diutissime servarentur, constituit sibi amplius in patriam non esle redeundum, neilli aliquando iureiurando soluti, leges suas excuterent Mislo itaque Spartam oraculo, amicosque itineris comites amplexus, illis dimissis, Cyrtham concessit, ubi mox suit sibi manibus necem conscivit. Quamquam alii Crislae, nonnulli etiam in Creta interiisse volunt, ubi etiam sepulchrum eius apud Pergameum urbem ostenditur. Spartani mortuo sacellum consecr²runt, et ob singularia eius in patriam merita, divinos ei honores tribuêrunt. Vide latius vitam eius apud plutarch. Clem 1. Strom. Euseb. in Chron. Paus. etc. Iustin. l. 3. c. 2. et 3. Proficiscitur autem in Cretam, ibique perpetuum exilium egit, abicique in mare ossa sua moriens iussit, et c.
