Herodotus. (№ 445868)

... Then, seeing that the choice is inevitable - either to kill his master, or to fall at the hands of the executioners himself, - he chose life for himself
Quote Explanation: So Gyges took possession of the kingdom, and the Delphic oracle confirmed his right to the throne by saying. The Lydians, after the murder of Candaules, took up arms in indignation, but the adherents of Gyges agreed with the rest of the Lydians that Gyges would remain their king, if only the oracle recognized him ... The oracle uttered a confession, and thus Gyges became king.
