The admirable Plato himself, a most sound authority on such matters, altogether rejected the use of Joy to you as bad and pointless. He substitutes Do well,” which implies a good state of both body and soul. In a letter to Dionysius [*] he censures him for greeting Apollo with Joy to you in his poem to the god; it is unworthy of the Pythian, he says, and not even for men of taste is it becoming, let alone gods.
