Once when her father told her to give some grain to a man by way of remuneration, and added, It is because he showed me how to make the wine

taste good, she said, Then, father, there will be more wine drunk, and the drinkers will become more intemperate and depraved.[*](Cf. the note on Moralia, 218 d (4), where the same idea is attributed to Archidamus.)
