普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导
Here Dion was in a great strait, being necessitated either to fight against his own countrymen, or tamely suffer himself and his faithful soldiers to be cut in pieces. He used many entreaties to the Syracusans, stretching out his hands towards the castle, that was full of their enemies, and showing them the soldiers, who in great numbers appeared on the walls and watched what was doing. But when no persuasions could divert the impulse of the multitude, and the whole mass, like the sea in a storm, seemed to be driven before the breath of the demagogues, he commanded his men, not to charge them, but to advance with shouts and clashing of their arms; which being done, not a man of them stood his ground; all fled at once through the streets, though none pursued them. For Dion immediately commanded his men to face about, and led them towards the city of the Leontines.

白话
狄翁陷入两难：要么跟自己的同胞开战，要么让忠诚的士兵被砍死。他反复恳求叙拉古人，指着城堡里满是敌人，又指墙上大批敌军在观望。但人群被煽动家鼓动得像暴风雨中的海，根本劝不住。狄翁于是命令士兵不要冲杀，只大声呐喊、敲击兵器。结果对方没一个人站住，全跑光了，其实没人追。狄翁立刻让士兵转身，带他们去莱昂蒂尼。这里的智慧是：面对被煽动的人群，不硬碰，用声势吓退，既避免自相残杀，又保住实力。
上下文
狄翁被叙拉古民众误解，面临同胞与雇佣兵冲突，他选择用威慑而非屠杀化解。
今日一问
当你面对一群情绪激动的人，能不能不用暴力，只用声势和姿态让对方退一步？
