Here is Painting, but Pyrrho has never come up. 25 I knew how it would be. Just. And what was his reason? Her. He holds that there is no such thing as a true decision. Just. Then judgement goes against him by default. Now for the Syrian advocate. The indictments were only filed a day or two ago; there was no such hurry. However . We will first take the case in which Rhetoric is plaintiff.
He completed the great fabric of which Thales laid the foundation. The subsequent schools of philosophy directed attention to ethical and practical questions, rather than to intellectual phenomena. The skeptics, like Pyrrho, had only negative doctrines, and had a disdain of those inquiries which sought to penetrate the mysteries of existence.
These philosophers, like so many others, sought happiness and affirmed that it lay in abstention from decision, in the mind remaining in abeyance, in aphasia. Pyrrho being accustomed to say that he was indifferent whether he was alive or dead, on being asked, "Then why do you live?" answered: "Just because it is indifferent whether one lives or is dead."
'I am obliged to confess that it is, I replied. 'I have heretofore lived in an easy indifference toward all religions. The popular religion of my country I early learned to despise. I have perused the philosophers, and examined their systems, from Pythagoras to Seneca, and am now, what I have long been, a disciple of none but Pyrrho.
Defendant is charged with seducing Dionysius, plaintiff's admirer. Just. Five will do for that. Her. Luxury v. Virtue, re Aristippus. Just. Five again. Her. Bank v. Diogenes, alleged to have run away from plaintiff's service. Just. Three only. Her. Painting v. Pyrrho. Desertion from the ranks. Just. That will want nine. Her. What about these two charges just brought against a rhetorician? Just.
Diogenes of Sinope wanted! Bank, it is for you to speak. 24 Diog. Look here, Madam Justice, if she doesn't stop bothering, I shall have assault and battery to answer for before long, instead of desertion; my stick is ready. Just. What is the meaning of this? Bank has run away, and Diogenes after her, with his stick raised. Poor Bank! I am afraid she will be roughly handled. Call Pyrrho. Her.
And I am convinced that from the heads of all ponderous profound beings, such as Plato, Pyrrho, the Devil, Jupiter, Dante, and so on, there always goes up a certain semi-visible steam, while in the act of thinking deep thoughts.
Pyrrho, he who erected so pleasant a knowledge upon ignorance, endeavoured, as all the rest who were really philosophers did, to make his life correspond with his doctrine.

After him Hieronymus the Rhodian said, that to be without pain was the chief good, so great an evil did pain appear to him to be. The rest, with the exceptions of Zeno, Aristo, Pyrrho, were pretty much of the same opinion that you were of just now that it was indeed an evil, but that there were many worse.
