Men and Beasts
Greek Anthology 11.46 (by Automedon [or Antimedon] of Cyzicus; tr. tr. W.R. Paton):

We are men in the evening when we drink together, but when day-break comes, we get up wild beasts preying on each other.
ἄνθρωποι δείλης, ὅτε πίνομεν· ἢν δὲ γένηται
ὄρθρος, ἐπ᾽ ἀλλήλους θῆρες ἐγειρόμεθα.
