Pausanias, a domestic, and near attendant upon the person of Philip,
king of Macedon, enquired of Hermocles, which was the most expeditious
way to be famous in the world on a sudden? Who answered he must kill
some eminent person, and then the glory of that man would fall upon
himself; hereupon, forgetting his duty and obligations, he murdered his
sovereign and master king Philip, and had what he aimed at, being as
well known in succeeding ages by his horrid parricide, as Philip was by
his great virtue.
