t tall, no runaway citizens, no loafers, rascals, like now, nor miscreants, but men who breathed spears and lances, white-crested helmets, and headgear, and greaves and sevenfold oxhide tempers. Dionysus This is really getting bad: he'll crush me with his helmet-making. Euripides And what did you do to teach men to be so noble? Dionysus Speak, Aeschylus; don't be a stubborn highfalutin' sorehead. Aeschylus I composed a drama filled with Mars. Dionysus Which one? Aeschylus The Seven against Thebes. Everyone who saw it fell in love with being fierce. Dionysus That was a bad thing you did, since you made the Thebans more courageous in war. For that at least get whacked. Aeschylus You could have trained for this as well, but you weren't so inclined. Then, producing The Persians after that, I taught them to yearn to beat the enemy; this finest feat did I honor. Dionysus Well, I rejoiced when you lamented for the death of Darius, and the chorus straightway clapped their hands like this

Euripides What is it? Dionysus I think you should pull in your sails; that oil flask is going to blow up quite a storm. Euripides By Demeter, I wouldn't think of it. For this one here will knock it away from him. Dionysus Go on and recite another then, but keep away from the flask! Euripides “Abandoning the town of Sidon, Cadmus, Agenor's son,...” Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus My fine fellow, buy the flask; so he can't smash our prologues. Euripides What! I should buy it from him? Dionysus If you take my advice. Euripides Oh no; for I have many prologues to recite, Where he can't tack on a flask. “To Pisa Pelops, son of Tantalus, Borne on swift coursers”— Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus You see, he stuck on the flask again. But, dear sir, pay him now by all means. You'll

Euripides “Aegyptus, so the widespread rumor runs, With fifty children in a long-oared boat, Landing near Argos”— Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus What was this “oil flask”? You'll be sorry! Recite for him another prologue, so I can see once more. Euripides “Dionysus, who with thyrsus wands and fawnskins bedecked amidst the pines on Mt. Parnassus bounds dancing...” Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask! Dionysus Alas, again we have been stricken by that flask. Euripides It won't be a problem. For to this prologue he won't be able to attach that flask. “No man exists, who's altogether blest, Either nobly sired he has no livelihood Or else base-born he ...” Aeschylus Lost his little oil flask!

Dionysus Come on and stand beside the balance pans. Aeschylus and Euripides Here we are! Dionysus Now, each of you grab hold and speak a verse, and don't let go till I yell “Cuckoo!” Euripides and Aeschylus We holding on. Dionysus Now recite the line into the scales. Euripides “Would that the Argive bark had never winged...” Aeschylus “Stream of Spercheius, haunts of grazing kine...” Dionysus Cuckoo! It's released. And much further down goes this man's side. Euripides Whatever is the reason? Dionysus Because he introduced a stream; like fabric salesmen he made his verse wet just like the wool. But you put in a winged word. Euripides Well, let him say something else and match me. Dionysus Grab hold again. Aeschylus and Euripides All set. Dionysus Speak!

For he inserted Death, weightiest of ills. Eurip
