(made a bit more difficult because it's greek, not latin[0], and red mullet, not fig!) http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0593%3Abook%3D40%3Achapter%3D54%3Asection%3D3 http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%... [0] no wonder I couldn't find it in any of my textbooks. Now I wonder where I heard this anecdote, then? Edit: ...and TIL it was σαρκασμός: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0593%3Abook%3D40%3Achapter%3D54%3Asection%3D4 http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%...
