Additional quotes by Simonides of Ceos

We did not flinch but gave our lives to save Greece when her fate hung on a razor's edge.

Here lies Megistias, who died
When the Medes crossed Spercheius' tide.
A great seer, yet he scorned to save
Himself, and shared the Spartans' grave.

[Word-for-word translation]
O stranger, announce to the Lacadaemonians [Spartans] that here
We lie, to their words [or laws] obedient.
