Anna Komnene (c. 1083-1153)
"Such is the way of men - today they cheer, escort, treat with honour, but once they see the fortunes of life reversed, they act in the opposite manner, without a blush."
- From The Alexiad (Book IX) by Anna Komnene, translated by E.R.A. Sewter, (Penguin Classics, 2009).
