普鲁塔克：希腊罗马名人传·摘录 83
普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 健康 · 认知 · 哲学
As to the manner of their deaths, it happened to one without the least thought or surmise of it; but to the other when he suspected it daily; which in the first, argues an equitable temper, and a noble mind, not to distrust his friends; but in the other, it showed some infirmity of spirit, for Eumenes intended to fly and was taken. The death of Sertorius dishonored not his life; he suffered that from his companions which none of his enemies were ever able to perform. The other, not being able to deliver himself before his imprisonment, being willing also to live in captivity, did neither prevent nor expect his fate with honor or bravery; for by meanly supplicating and petitioning, he made his enemy, that pretended only to have power over his body, to be lord and master of his body and mind.

白话
面对死亡，塞多留事先毫无察觉，而欧迈尼斯却天天提防。普鲁塔克认为，前者不怀疑朋友，显出公正高贵的性情；后者总怕被害，反暴露内心虚弱，因为他想逃却被捉。塞多留死于同伴之手，但这无损其一生荣誉，敌人做不到的事，自己人却做了。欧迈尼斯被囚前未能脱身，又甘愿苟活，既没勇敢避免也没坦然面对命运；他低声下气求饶，让敌人不仅控制其身体，更主宰了他的精神。

普鲁塔克是罗马帝国早期的希腊传记家，在《对比列传》中并列比较希腊与罗马人物，此处比较塞多留与欧迈尼斯之死。
