Think, too, of the younger men and boys. Will they not envy their death and strive themselves to take as an example these mens lives, in place of which they have left behind their valor?

Ought we then to count them happy in so great an honor?[*]

For if it is for pleasure that men recall such feats of courage, what could be more pleasing to Greeks than the praise of those who gave them freedom from the Macedonian yoke? Or if it is desire for profit that prompts such recollections, what speech could be of greater profit to the hearts of those about to hear it than one which is to honor courage and brave men?
