He departs. Pisthetaerus Away with you, and take your prophecies elsewhere. Enter Meton, with surveying instruments. Meton I have come to you . . . Pisthetaerus Interrupting. Yet another pest! What have you come to do? What's your plan? What's the purpose of your journey? Why these splendid buskins? Meton I want to survey the plains of the air for you and to parcel them into lots. Pisthetaerus In the name of the gods, who are you? Meton Who am I? Meton, known throughout Greece and at Colonus. Pisthetaerus What are these things? Meton Tools for measuring the air.

Pisthetaerus A regular Thales! Meton . . . Meton What d'you want with me? Pisthetaerus I want to give you a proof of my friendship. Use your legs. Meton Why, what have I to fear?
