Olympia (Greece) (search for this): card 1342
bit? Hi! you woman! come here! Philocleon Oh! What do you want to do? Bdelycleon To take her away from you and lead her off. You are too much worn out and can do nothing. He takes the girl into the house. Philocleon Listen to me! One day, at Olympia, I saw Euphudion boxing bravely against Ascondas; he was already aged, and yet with a blow from his fist he knocked down his young opponent. So watch out that I don't blacken your eyes. Bdelycleon who has returned By Zeus! you have Olympia at n! come here! Philocleon Oh! What do you want to do? Bdelycleon To take her away from you and lead her off. You are too much worn out and can do nothing. He takes the girl into the house. Philocleon Listen to me! One day, at Olympia, I saw Euphudion boxing bravely against Ascondas; he was already aged, and yet with a blow from his fist he knocked down his young opponent. So watch out that I don't blacken your eyes. Bdelycleon who has returned By Zeus! you have Olympia at your finger-ends!
Pharsalos (Greece) (search for this): card 1265
They go out. Chorus More than once have I given proof of cunning and never of stupidity, but how much more clever is Amynias, the son of Sellus and of the race of forelock-wearers; him we saw one day coming to dine with Leogaras, bringing as his share one apple and a pomegranate, and bear in mind he was as hungry as Antiphon. He went on an embassy to Pharsalus, and there he lived solely among the Thessalian mercenaries; indeed, is he not the vilest of mercenaries himself?
Athens (Greece) (search for this): card 1224
Bdelycleon That we shall see. Suppose me to be Cleon. I am the first to begin the song of Harmodius, and you take it up: "There never yet was seen in Athens ... Philocleon ... such a rogue or such a thief." Bdelycleon Why, you wretched man, it will be the end of you if you sing that. He will vow your ruin, your destruction, to chase you out of the country. Philocleon Well! then I shall answer his threats with another song: "With your madness for supreme power, you will end by overthrowing the city, which even now totters towards ruin." Bdelycleon And when Theorus, prone at Cleon's feet, takes his hand and sings, "Like Admetus, love those who are brave," what reply will you make him? Philocleon I shall sing, "I know not how to play the fox, nor call myself the friend of both parties." Bdelycleon Then comes the turn of Aeschines, the son of Sellus, and a well-trained and clever musician, who will sing, "Good things and riches for Clitagora and me and eke for the Thessalia
o will sing, "Good things and riches for Clitagora and me and eke for the Thessalians!" Philocleon "The two of us have squandered a great deal between us." Bdelycleon At this game you seem at home. But come, we will go and dine with Philoctemon. —Slave! slave! place our dinner in a basket; we are going out for a good long drinking bout. Philocleon By no means, it is too dangerous; for after drinking, one breaks in doors, one comes to blows, one batters everything. Anon, when the wine is slept off, one is forced to pay. Bdelycleon Not if you are with decent people. Either they undertake to appease the offended person or, better still, you say something witty, you tell some comic story, perhaps one of those you have yourself heard at table, either in Aesop's style or in that of Sybaris; everyone laughs and the trouble is ended. Philocleon Faith! it's worth while learning many stories then, if you are thus not punished for the ill you do. Bdelycleon But come, no more dela
Paros (Greece) (search for this): card 1170
is usually done. Philocleon Ah! I know something that is indeed most domestic. Once upon a time there was a rat and a cat ... Bdelycleon "Oh, you ignorant fool," as Theagenes said to the dung-gatherer in a rage. Are you going to talk of cats and rats among high-class people? Philocleon Then what should I talk about? Bdelycleon Tell some dignified story. Relate how you were sent on a solemn mission with Androcles and Clisthenes. Philocleon On a mission! never in my life, except once to Paros, a job which brought me in two obols a day. Bdelycleon At least say, that you have just seen Ephudion doing well in the pancratium with Ascondas and, that despite his age and his white hair, he is still robust in loin and arm and flank and that his chest is a very breastplate. Philocleon Stop! stop! what nonsense! Who ever contested at the pancratium with a breast-plate on? Bdelycleon That is how well-behaved folk like to talk. But another thing. When at wine, it would be fitting to rel
Ecbatana (Iran) (search for this): card 1122
tis. Bdelycleon No wonder. It's only at Sardis you could have seen them, and you have never been there. Philocleon Of course not, but it seems to me exactly like the mantle Morychus sports. Bdelycleon Not at all; I tell you they are woven at Ecbatana. Philocleon What! are there woollen ox-guts then at Ecbatana? Bdelycleon Whatever are you talking about? These are woven by the barbarians at great cost. I am certain this pelisse has consumed more than a talent of wool. Philocleon It shouldEcbatana? Bdelycleon Whatever are you talking about? These are woven by the barbarians at great cost. I am certain this pelisse has consumed more than a talent of wool. Philocleon It should be called wool-waster then instead of pelisse. Bdelycleon Come, father, just hold stillfor a moment and put it on. PhilocleonOh! horrors! what a waft of heat the hussy sends up my nose! Bdelycleon Will you have done with this fooling? Philocleon No by Zeus. But my good lad, if need be, I prefer you should put me in the oven. Bdelycleon Come, I will put it round you. There! Philocleon At all events, bring out a crook. Bdelycleon Why, whatever for? Philocleon To drag me out of it before
Sardis (Turkey) (search for this): card 1122
t must I do? Bdelycleon Take off your cloak, and put on this tunic in its stead. Philocleon Was it worth while to beget and bring up children, so that this one should now wish to choke me? Bdelycleon Come, take this tunic and put it on without so much talk. Philocleon Great gods! what sort of a cursed garment is this? Bdelycleon Some call it a pelisse, others a Persian cloak. Philocleon Ah! I thought it was a wraprascal like those made at Thymaetis. Bdelycleon No wonder. It's only at Sardis you could have seen them, and you have never been there. Philocleon Of course not, but it seems to me exactly like the mantle Morychus sports. Bdelycleon Not at all; I tell you they are woven at Ecbatana. Philocleon What! are there woollen ox-guts then at Ecbatana? Bdelycleon Whatever are you talking about? These are woven by the barbarians at great cost.

Athens (Greece) (search for this): card 1091
Second Semi-Chorus Oh! at that time I was terrible, I feared nothing; forth on my galleys I went in search of my foe and subjected him. Then we never thought of rounding fine phrases, we never dreamt of calumny; it was who should prove the strongest rower. And thus we took many a town from the Medes, and 'tis to us that Athens owes the tributes that our young men thieve to-day.
Delphi (Greece) (search for this): card 868
Bdelycleon And first let there be a sacred silence. Chorus Oh! god of Delphi! oh! Phoebus Apollo! convert into the greatest blessing for us all what is now happening before this house, and cure us of our error, oh, Paean, our helper!
Sardis (Turkey) (search for this): card 696
Philocleon Can it be I am treated thus? Oh! what is it you are saying? You stir me to the bottom of my heart! I am all ears! I cannot express what I feel. Bdelycleon Consider then; you might be rich, both you and all the others; I know not why you let yourself be fooled by these folk who call themselves the people's friends. A myriad of towns obey you, from the Euxine to Sardis. What do you gain thereby? Nothing but this miserable pay, and even that is like the oil with which the flock of wool is impregnated and is doled to you drop by drop, just enough to keep you from dying of hunger. They want you to be poor, and I will tell you why. It is so that you may know only those who nourish you, and so that, if it pleases them to loose you against one of their foes, you shall leap upon him with fury. If they wished to assure the well-being of the people, nothing would be easier for them. We have now a thousand towns that pay us tribute; let them command each of these to feed twenty Athen
