#Plutarch #ParallelLives #PericlesAndFabius 1/
Fabius,
whose eyes beheld many disgraceful defeats, many cruel deaths of imperators and generals,
lakes and plains and forests filled with with slain armies,
and rivers flowing with blood and slaughter to the sea,
put helping and supporting hands to the city, and by his firm and independent course,
prevented her from utter exhaustion through the disasters brought upon her by others.
[Section 1]
