For by this time the news of his being seized had reached many parts of the city, and there was a concourse of people with lights and torches about the prison gates, and in the midst of them the mother and the grandmother of Agis, crying out with a loud voice, that their king ought to appear, and to be heard and judged by the people. But this clamor, instead of preventing, hastened his death; his enemies fearing, if the tumult should increase, he might be rescued during the night out of their hands.

白话
阿吉斯被逮捕的消息传开后,人群举着火把聚集在监狱门口,他的母亲和祖母大声呼喊,要求让国王出面接受人民的审判。然而,这种喧闹反而加速了他的死亡:他的敌人担心,如果骚动扩大,他可能在夜间被救走。因此,他们决定立即处死他。这说明,在政治斗争中,公众的同情有时会适得其反,因为对手会因恐惧而采取更极端的行动。
