====== Pasicles of Thebes ====== ===== Diogenes Laertius, Book 6 ยง89 =====
The marriage of intrigue and adultery, he said, belonged to tragedy, having exile or assassination as its rewards; while the weddings of those who take up with courtesans are material for comedy, for as a result of extravagance and drunkenness they bring about madness. This man had a brother named **Pasicles**, who was a disciple of Euclides. Favorinus, in the second book of his //Memorabilia//, tells a pleasant story of Crates. For he relates how, when making some request of the master of the gymnasium, he laid hold on his hips; and when he demurred, said, "What, are not these hip-joints yours as much as your knees?" It was, he used to say, impossible to find anybody wholly free from flaws; but, just as in a pomegranate, one of the seeds is always going bad. Having exasperated the musician Nicodromus, he was struck by him on the face. So he stuck a plaster on his forehead with these words on it, "Nicodromus's handiwork." \\ [[http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lives_of_the_Eminent_Philosophers/Book_VI|Source]]===== Suda, Sigma 1114 =====
