A man whose hair was turning gray had two lovers, one young and the other old. The older woman, ashamed to be intimate with a man younger than herself, would pluck out his dark hairs whenever he came to see her. The younger woman, reluctant to have an old man for a lover, pulled out his gray hairs. And so, between the two of them plucking away, he ended up bald.
So it is that inequality is harmful in every circumstance.
Ἀνὴρ μεσαιπόλιος δύο ἐρωμένας εἶχεν, ὧν ἡ μὲν νέα, ἡ δὲ πρεσβῦτις. Καὶ ἡ μὲν προβεβηκυῖα αἰδουμένη νεωτέρῳ αὐτῆς πλησιάζειν, διετέλει, εἴ ποτε πρὸς αὐτὴν παρεγένετο, τὰς μελαίνας αὐτοῦ τρίχας περιαιρουμένη· ἡ δὲ νεωτέρα ὑποστελλομένη γέροντα ἐραστὴν ἔχειν, τὰς πολιὰς αὐτοῦ ἀπέσπα. Καὶ οὕτω συνέβη ὑπὸ ἀμφοτέρων αὐτὸν περιτιλλόμενον φαλακρὸν γενέσθαι.
Οὕτω πανταχοῦ τὸ ἀνώμαλον ἐπιβλαβές ἐστι.
