King Antigonus came to visit Antagoras a learned Man, whom he found in his Tent busied in the Cooking of Congers, Do you think, said Antigonus, that Homer at such time as he wrote the glorious Actions of Agamemnon was boiling of Congers? And do you think, said the other, that Agamemnon when he did those great Actions, was wont to concern himself whether any Man in his Camp boiled Congers or not,

Le Roy Antigonus alla voir Antagoras, Homme savant, lequel il trouva dans sa Tente occupé à apprêter des Congres; Croyez vous, lui dit Antigonus, qu’Homere fit bouillir des Congres lors qu’il écrivoit les glorieuses Actions d’Agamemnon? Et pensez vous, lui dit l’autre, que lors qu’Agamemnon faisoit ces belles Actions, il se mît en peine si quelqu’un dans son Camp faisoit bouillir des Congres ou non?
