亚历山大大帝

章节摘录

版权页：And the officers appointed to carry out these provisions were liberal in the interpretation and application of them, so as to save as many as there could be any possible pretext for saving. The descendants and family connections of Pindar the celebrated poet, who has been already mentioned as having been born in Thebes, were all pardoned also, whichever side they may have taken in the contest. The truth was that Alexander, though he had the wisdom to see that he was placed in circumstances where great moral effect in strengthening his position would be produced by an act of great severity, was swayed by so many generous impulses, which raised him above the ordinary excitements of anger and revenge, that he had every desire to make the suffering as light, and to limit it by as narrow bounds, as the nature of the case would allow. He doubtless also had an instinctive feeling that the moral effect itself of so dreadful an act of revenge as he was about to inflict upon the devoted city would be very much increased by tolerance and generosity, and by extreme regard for the security and protection of those who had shown themselves his friends.
