His son, a Helios, or the great Macedonian whose name he bears; his daughter you are right, Bion the maid beloved of Eros. Now, if you can make verses, my young friend of the Muses, give us an epigram in a line or two which we may bear in mind as a compliment to our imperial visitor." "But not here not in the burial-ground," Melissa urged once more.
An inward omen—not from the entrails of birds, nor a sign in the heavens—told Democrates the fellow brought no happy tidings. With incisive questions Themistocles had been bringing out everything. “So it is absolutely certain that Xerxes begins his invasion next spring?” “As certain as that Helios will rise to-morrow.” “Forewarned is forearmed.
"But it cannot scare men of flesh and blood whose purpose is good. I, you may believe me, would willingly stay with you, till Helios departs again, if you would permit me." "I can neither permit nor forbid you anything," answered Irene. "But, how came you here at this hour?" "In a chariot," replied Lysias smiling.

I spoke to the foreman, and he told me coolly and decidedly that the architect was placed here in Caesar's name, and that if you do not obey him you will at once be superseded in your office. And if that were to happen, if that O father, father, only think of blind Helios and poor Berenice!
