齐纳斯

齐纳斯Cineas)为生活在前三世纪左右的希腊人,根据罗马史书记载齐纳斯是希腊色萨利的官员,也是伊庇鲁斯摩罗西亚国王皮洛士的好友。

在皮洛士战争中,皮洛士于前280年派遣齐纳斯前往罗马与罗马共和国议和,据说罗马元老院内的众多议员一度被齐纳斯的游说所打动,但是最后在盲眼的前任执政官阿庇乌斯·克劳狄·卡埃库斯的坚决反对下,元老院仍然拒绝停战。齐纳斯从罗马回来后,告诉皮洛士罗马元老院就像是许多可敬的国王聚集而成一个团体,与他们为敌就像是与希腊神话的九头蛇战斗一样。

齐纳斯拥用有惊人的记忆力,当他到罗马之后就可以记住每个元老院议员的名字并打招呼。

Cineas 齐纳斯

In Roman history, Cineas (Greek:Κινέας) was a minister of Thessaly and friend of King Pyrrhus of Epirus.

In the war with Rome, after his victory in the Battle of Heraclea, Pyrrhus sent Cineas to Rome to sue for peace. The Roman Senate would not agree to cease hostilities, mainly because the words of Appius Claudius Caecus who in 280 BC, after he had gone blind, gave a famous speech against Cineas, declaring that Rome would never surrender. This was the first recorded political speech in Latin, and is the source of the saying "every man is the architect of his own fortune" (Latin: quisque faber suae fortunae).
