Meles and Timagoras

Speranza


Pausanias:

Meles an Athenian, tired of Timarghoras, a resident alien who was enamoured of him, bade him to go to the highest part of the rock and throw himself down.

And Timagoras, careless of his life, and wishing in all things to graify the stripling's commands, threw himself accordingly.

But Meles, when he saw Timagoras was dead, was so stricken with remose that he threw himself down from the same rock, and so he perished.
