Transaction Publishers He is mentioned several times and condemned by Cicero as making the chief good of man to consist in a union of virtue ({{langx|la|honestas}}) and bodily pleasure ({{langx|grc|ἡδονή}}, {{langx|la|voluptas}}), or, as Cicero says, in the union of the human with the beast.Cicero, de Finibus, ii. 6, 11, iv. 18, v. 8, 25, de Officiis, iii. 33, Tusculanae Quaestiones, v. 30, 31; Clement of Alexandria, Stromata, 2. § 127.
