Beatus Vir

Euripides, fragment 789a Kannicht, line 1 (from Philoctetes; tr. Christopher Collard):
Blest the man who stays home in good fortune!

μακάριος ὅστις εὐτυχῶν οἴκοι μένει.
Sophocles, fragment 934 = Aeschylus, fragment 317 (tr. Hugh Lloyd-Jones):
The man who is truly fortunate should stay at home.

οἴκοι μένειν δεῖ τὸν καλῶς εὐδαίμονα.
