Table of Contents:
Under each of these forms of government we find friendship existing between ruler and
ruled, to the same extent as justice. The friendship of a king for his subjects is one of
superiority in beneficence; for a king does good to his subjects, inasmuch as being good
he studies to promote their welfare, as a shepherd studies the welfare of his sheep; hence
Homer called Agamemnon ‘shepherd of the people.’
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
