ZEUS

What are you guffawing about, Momus? Surely there is nothing to laugh at in the situation we are facing. Stop, hang you! You'll choke yourself to death with your laughing.

MOMUS

How can I, Zeus, when the oracle is so clear and manifest?

ZEUS

Well then, suppose you tell us what in the world it means.

MOMUS

It is quite manifest, so that we shan’t need a Themistocles.See p. 121, note.. The prophecy says as plainly as you please that this fellow is a humbug and that you who believe in him are pack-asses and mules, without as much sense as grasshoppers. 5

HERACLES

As for me, father, though I am but an alien I.shall not hesitate to say what I think. When they have met and are disputing, if Timocles gets the better of it, let’s allow the discussion about us to proceed; but if it turns out at all adversely, in that case, if you approve, I myself will at once shake the porch and throw it down on Damis, so that he may not affront us, confound him!
