Of their nature it comes that they are mourned as mortal, of their valor that they are lauded as immortal. Thus you see them given a public funeral, and contests of strength and knowledge and wealth[*] held at their tomb; because we think that those who have fallen in war are worthy of receiving the same honors as the immortals.
