Lysias, 2.80

From a speech over the war-dead, some time in the 390s BC.

καὶ γάρ τοι θάπτονται δημοσίᾳ, καὶ ἀγῶνες τίθενται ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ῥώμης καὶ σοφίας καὶ πλούτου, ὡς ἀξίους ὄντας τοὺς ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τετελευτηκότας ταῖς αὐταῖς τιμαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀθανάτους τιμᾶσθαι.

They are buried at public expense, and contests of strength, wisdom and wealth are held in their honour: those who have died in war are considered worthy of receiving the same honours as the immortals.

Lysias 20 (For Polystratus) 20-21

εἰ δέ τινες κακόνοι ἐγένοντο εἰς τὰ ὑμέτερα πράγματα ἢ γνώμην μὴ ἐπιτηδείαν εἶπον, οὐχ οἱ ἀπόντες τούτων αἴτιοί εἰσιν, ἐπεὶ καὶ τοὺς παρόντας ὑμεῖς ἀπελύσατε. οὐδὲ γὰρ εἴ τις τῶν ἐνθάδε μὴ τὰ ἄριστα λέγων πείθει ὑμᾶς, οὐχ ὑμεῖς ἐστε αἴτιοι, ἀλλ’ ὁ ἐξαπατῶν ὑμᾶς.

If any men have been ill-disposed towards your government or have proposed an improper motion, it is not the absent ones who are to blame for these things – since you have cleared even the ones who were present. For even if one of these men here persuades you by giving advice which is not the best, it is not you who are to blame, but the man who deceives you.
