And it cheered his heart to know that he could accommodate himself to the
 divine ordering of the world, whereas he saw his rival shunning heat and
 shunning cold through weakness of character, imitating the life, not of
 brave men, but of the weakest of the brutes. Surely, too, he did what was seemly and
 dignified when he adorned his own estate with works and possessions worthy
 of a man, keeping many hounds and war horses, but persuaded his sister
 Cynisca to breed chariot horses, and showed by her victory that such a stud
 marks the owner as a person of wealth, but not necessarily of merit. Xen. Hiero
 11.5
