PLATO

Yes, by Heaven! Anyhow, he himself says: Of mouths that are curbless And fools that are lawless The end is mischance. Bacchae386 ff.

FRANKNESS

Well, then, as you are absolutely determined to kill me and there is no possibility of my escaping, do tell me at least who you are and what irreparable injuries you have received from me that you’ are irreconcilably angry and have seized me for execution.

PLATO

What dreadful wrongs you have done us you may ask yourself, you rascal, and those precious dialogues of yours in which you not only spoke abusively of Philosophy herself, but insulted us by advertising for sale, as if in a slave-market, men who are learned, and what is more, free-born. Indignant at this, we requested a brief leave of absence from Pluto and have come up to get you—Chrysippus here, Epicurus, Plato (myself), Aristotle over there, Pythagoras here, who says nothing, Diogenes, and everyone that you vilified in your dialogues.

FRANKNESS

I breathe again, for you will not put me to death if you understand how I have acted as regards you. So throw away your stones; or better, keep them. You will make use of them against those who deserve them.It is curious that this suggestion, though emphasized by being repeated (§ 11), is not worked out.

PLATO

Nonsense: you must die to-day. Yes, forthwith Don your tunic of stone on account of the wrongs you have done us! Iliad3, 57.
