Party spirit was once running high at Athens; he came into the assembly, and his mere appearance was enough to still the storm. When he saw that they were ashamed, he departed again without having uttered a word.

When he found that he was no longer able to take care of himself, he repeated to his friends the tag with which the iecalds close the festival:

The games are done,

The crowns all won;

No more delay,

But haste away,

and from that moment abstaining from food, left life as cheerfully as he had lived it.
