When Euripides threw his arms around the fair Agathon in the midst of an evening party and kissed him, for all that Agathon was already bearded, Archelaus said to his friends, Do not be astonished; for even the autumn of the fair is fair.Cf. Plutarch’s , chap. i. (192 A); , 770 C; and Aelian, , xiii. 4. In all three places the remark is attributed to Euripides.
