1. Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, 382, 381 (6th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE)

381. ἐάν τις ἐν καιρῷ γε μαλθάσσῃ κέαρ 381. If one softens the soul in season, and does not hasten to reduce its swelling rage by violence. Oceanus
2. Philo of Alexandria, On Dreams, 2.78-2.79, 2.84, 2.88, 2.90 (1st cent. BCE - missingth cent. CE)

2.78. But the man who is at the same time initiated in dreams and also an interpreter of dreams, is bold to say that his sheaf rose and stood upright; for in real truth, as spirited horses lift their necks high, so all who are companions of vain opinion place themselves above all things, above all cities, and laws, and national customs, and above all the circumstances which affect each individual of them. 2.79. Then proceeding onwards from being demagogues to being leaders of the people, and overthrowing the things which belong to their neighbours, and setting up and establishing on a solid footing what belongs to themselves, that is to say, all such dispositions as are free and by nature impatient of slavery, they attempt to reduce these also under their power; 2.84. Therefore, being pricked with goads, and flogged, and mutilated, and suffering all the cruelties which can be inflicted in an inhuman and pitiless manner before death, all together, they are led away to execution and put to death. XIII. 2.88. Unless indeed anyone will assert that it is of no use to anyone to oppose the asps and serpents of Egypt, and all the other things which ... destructive poison ... inflict inevitable death on those who are once bitten by them; for that men must be content to use incantations, and so to tame those beasts, and by such means to avoid suffering any evil from them. 2.90. For he has not come to this action of adoration because he honours person who, by nature, and by hereditary qualities, and by their own habits, are enemies to reason, and who miserably waste the coinage of the soul, namely instruction, corrupting, and adulterating, and clipping it, but because he fears their present power and their scarcely conquerable strength, and is on his guard not to provoke them, he takes refuge in that great and powerful possession and weapon of virtue, that most excellent place of abode for wise souls, the double cave, which he could not occupy while warring and fighting, but only by acting as a champion and servant of reason.
3. Athenaeus, The Learned Banquet, 14.620 (2nd cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE)

4. Clement of Alexandria, Miscellanies, 6 (2nd cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE)
