Where'd this quote come from?

"Who was yonder old Roman who said, 'Call no man happy until he is dead'? My task, then, is to bring that greatest of all happinesses to my father, and why should I then rebel against that fate?"

Anoywn - it was on your quiz, where'd you get it from? Thanks!

I always believed "Call no man happy until he is dead" was from the Greek, Oedipus...

Oedipus you do realize, was the ill fated lad prophesised to kill is fathe and marry his mother. And thus he did.
