appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober. A woman peti- tioned King Philip of Macedon for justice for her husband and was refused. “I shall appeal against this judgment!” she ex- claimed, and Philip—while still in his cups—roared: “Appeal— and to whom will you appeal?” “To Philip sober,” the woman replied, and according to Valerius Maximus, who tells the tale, she won her case. |
