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!

:D Gwydion/Mordred said it in The Mists of Avalon to Morgause by Marrion Zimmer Bradley. It's in "The King Stag" section, Chapter 13, page 650. (I just searched through the book and found it.)

He said it when Morgause, his foster-mother, sat him down and talked to him about what he was "destined" to do; kill King Arthur, his father, and take the throne so the Old Religion could thrive in Britain again.

If you haven't read the book yet, you ought to... it's *amazing*!
