1. Herodot: Historien

Aus Italien kam Smindyrides (1), der Sohn des Hippokrates aus Sybaris, der glänzendste Freier, der erschien; Sybaris stand zu dieser Zeit in seiner höchsten Blüte. [...]

[VI 127]
(1) 1. Hälfte des 6. Jhdts. v.u.Z.


2. Athenaios von Naukratis: Das Gelehrtenmahl

[...] But Smindyrides of Sybaris was not like this, Greek sirs; when he set off in the hope of marrying Cleisthenes’ daughter Agariste, he was so devoted to luxury and fine living that he took along 1000 slaves, including fishermen, fowlers, and cooks. When this fellow wanted to indicate what a wonderful life he led, according to Chamaeleon of Pontus in his On Pleasure [fr. 8 Wehrli] – the same book is also attributed to Theophrastus – he claimed not to have seen the sun rising or setting for 20 years; as far as he was concerned, this was substantial and extraordinary evidence of how lucky he was. Apparently he used to go to sleep early and get up late – making him unfortunate on both counts. [...]

[273 C]


3. Claudius Aelianus: Varia Historia

Smindyrides of Sybaris is said to have degenerated into such extravagant habits that, when he arrived in Sicyon as a suitor for Agariste the daughter of Cleisthenes, he brought with him a thousand cooks, equal number of birdcatchers, and a thousand fishermen.

[XII 24]
