Internetos apgalvo, ka autors ir Galēns un citāts patiesībā ir garāks:
"Quite as interesting is the full quote: "Triste est omne animal post coitum, praeter mulierem gallumque; "After coitus every animal is sad except the woman and the cock (= rooster)".
This is, I am now led to understand, by Galen (c. 130-201), the great physician to the emperors; though until I did a Web search just now to find the exact work, I had thought it was by Aristotle (who would of course have been read in Latin translation for most of history); and I have also seen it given to Ovid. But Kinsey goes for Galen." |
