"The idea of "woe to the conquered" can be found in Homer and the hawk parable in Hesiod's 'Works and Days' and in Livy, in which " vae victis", Latin for "woe to the conquered", is first recorded."

Thomas Hobbes was probably the most honest philosopher who ever lived--as were probably a dozen others. (I know that sounds strange).

His insights were those of a Shakespeare--and perhaps more. Many have overlooked him because he did not speak in the obscure language of a Spinoza or a Hume. -g-
