Who said of Greece , " Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit " ?
Among Romans the career of Titus Quinctius Flamininus ( died 174 BC ) , who appeared at the Isthmian Games in Corinth in 196 BC and proclaimed the freedom of the Greek states , was fluent in Greek , stood out , according to Livy , as a great admirer of Greek culture ; the Greeks hailed him as their liberator .
