Translation of a quote from English to Greek
Allegedly Phillip II once said to Alexander ''My son, ask for yourself another kingdom, for Macedonia is too small for you''. Or something along those lines. My question is: What is the original Greek version of this quote? Like, how was it written in Greek?
Re: Translation of a quote from English to Greek
The quote is Plutarch Alexander 6 v and the Greek is
‘ὦ παῖ,’ φάναι, ‘ζήτει σεαυτῷ βασιλείαν ἴσην Μακεδονία γάρ σε οὐ χωρεῖ’
When you think about, it free-choice is the only possible option.
