Ὦ ξεῖν’, ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῆιδε
κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι.
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here obedient to their laws we lie.
This version of the epigram and the Steven Pressfield translation are from Dr Peter Gainsford’s website at https://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2019/02/simonides.html . He has a fascinating discussion there of the origins of the epigram. Spoiler alert: it’s not Simonides.
