上 诉
like his son alexander the great, philipⅡ was famed for his love of drink. one day, rising from an entertainment at which he had sat some hours, he was asked by a woman to hear her cause. he complied with her request, but upon her saying some things that were not very agreeable to him, he gave sentence against her.
the woman promptly but calmly replied,"then i appeal."
"to whom?" philip asked.
"from philip drunk, to philip sober," said the woman.
