Plutarch, De Alexandri Magni fortuna aut virtute:
Now of the two monarchs Semiramis und Sardanapalus, whose hands were placed the same power and Dominion, Semiramis, though a woman, equipped great expeditions, armed her ranks, established the Babylonian Empire, and sailed about the Persian Gulf subduing the Ethiopians and Arabs.

But Sardanapalus, though born a man, spent his days at home carding purple wool, sitting with his knees drawn up in front of him among his concubines; and when he died, they made a stone statue of him dancing in a barbaric fashion and apparently snapping its fingers above his head. They engraved upon it: “Eat, drink, and sport with love; all else is naught [ἔσθιε, πῖνε, ἀφροδισίαζε. τἄλλα δ’ οὐδέν].”

[Moralia 336C; Plutarch: Moralia Vol. IV; ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.) / London 1936, pp. 436-439]
