When Thermouthis reached the top of the hill, he sat down on a rock to rest and wait for nightfall, for they had agreed to enter the village after dark and start probing for information about Thyamis. He kept a constant watch for Knemon, from whatever direction he might appear, for he was plotting mischief against him. There still lingered in his mind the suspicion that it was Knemon who had killed Thisbe, and he was considering how he might dispose of him; then, with Knemon out of the way, he had deranged visions of attacking Theagenes and Charikleia too. However, Knemon was nowhere to be seen, and it was now the dead of night. Thermouthis lay down to sleep, but the sleep he slept was the final sleep, the brazen sleep of death, for he was bitten by a viper. Perhaps it was destiny's will that his life should end in a way so befitting his character.
– Heliodorus, from The Aethiopica, or, Theagenes and Charikleia (3rd or 4th century AD), translated from Greek by J.R. Morgan (1989)
