the public sympathies inclined considerably to the side of the Lacedaemonians more (than to that of their opponents): P. ἡ δε εὔνοια παρὰ πολὺ ἐποίει τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἐς τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους (Thuc. 2, 8).
seeing you let fall tears from your eyes I felt pity and myself shed tears in sympathy with you: V. ἐγώ σ' ἀπ' ὄσσων ἐκβαλόντ' ἰδὼν δάκρυ ᾤκτειρα καὐτὸς ἀντάφηκα σοὶ πάλιν (Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis 477).
