It makes no difference in doing this, whether it is a question of
Athenians or Lacedaemonians, of a man or a god. For, when advising Achilles,
praising or censuring, accusing or defending him, we must grasp all that really
belongs, or appears to belong to him, in order that we may praise or censure in
accordance with this, if there is anything noble or disgraceful; defend or
accuse, if there is anything just or unjust; advise, if there is anything
expedient or harmful.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
