The Fall of Gyges

The Fall of Gyges

Fame? Fortune? Frivolity? What would you give, and what would you do, to possess these things permanently? What price would you pay?

Come listen to an echo of one who comes after Socrates; one who will say, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?"
