Theagenes and Charikleia, and Knemon too, suddenly took stock of all the troubles that beset them. They seemed to want to form a plan, but the extent of their past woes, the hopelessness of their present predicament, the uncertainty of the future, clouded their intellects. For a long time they stared at one another, each expecting the others to speak; but meeting only with silence, they averted their eyes towards the ground, then raised their heads and drew a deep breath, easing with a sigh the pain that pressed heavy on their hearts. Finally Knemon lay down on the ground. Theagenes slumped onto a rock, and Charikleia flung herself on top of him. For as long as they could they kept at bay the sleep that assailed them, for they wanted desperately to devise a strategy against their present plight; but eventually they were compelled to obey the law of nature and yield to their lassitude and fatigue. They slipped into a sweet slumber, so intense was their sorrow. Thus it is that sometimes the conscious mind consents to accede to bodily pain.
– Heliodorus, from The Aethiopica, or, Theagenes and Charikleia (3rd or 4th century AD), translated from Greek by J.R. Morgan (1989)
