There is a story that
 Cyrus ,
 lately the most illustrious of princes, once said to
 the company invited to receive his gifts, I myself
 deserve to receive the gifts awarded in both
 classes; for I am the best at stocking land and the
 best at protecting the stock. Well, if
 Cyrus said
 that,
 Socrates ,
 he took as much pride in cultivating and stocking
 land as in being a warrior.
