Laudator Temporis Acti: Shamelessness

Shamelessness

Lycurgus, fragment XIII, 1 a Conomis (p. 113; tr. J.O. Burtt):

You take a pride in what causes shame to others.

ἐφ᾿ οἷς καυχᾷ, οἱ ἄλλοι αἰσχύνονται.

Suda K 1145 Adler (Pars III, p. 81):

Καυχᾷ: οἱ λοιποὶ ῥήτορες ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτῆς ἐννοίας αὐχεῖν λέγουσι...

See the dictionaries s.v. καυχάομαι.

Cf. Philippians 3.19 (New International Version):

Their glory is in their shame.

ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ αἰσχύνῃ αὐτῶν.
