Nestor, you know, the wisest of the Achaeans, outlasted three genera- tions, Homer says: [*] and he tells us that he was splendidly trained. in mind and in body. Likewise Teiresias the seer outlasted six generations, tragedy says:[*] and one may well believe that a man consecrated to the gods, following a simpler diet, lives very long.
