St. Dionysius of Alexandria

Note 239 — TREATISES

Charles Lett Feltoe translation

It is impossible to reproduce the play upon words here, εὐτυχῆ τὴν φρόνησιν, ἐμφρονεστάτην τὴν τύχην. The reference seems to be to such poetical passages as Soph., O. T. 977 ff., and Eur., Alc. 785 ff., where the practical wisdom of leaving the future to take care of itself is extolled.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
