APOLLO
Not a very clever way of sharing it, was it, Hermes? This way they won’t even see each other, and that’s what they wanted most of all, I take it. How can they, when one’s with the gods and one with the dead? Another thing; I play the prophet, Asclepius goes in for doctoring, you teach wrestling and are an excellent trainer, Artemis is a mid-wife, Cf. note on pp. 326-327. and everyone else among us has some special craft, which helps gods or men. But what will we get them to do? We can’t have big strapping fellows like them sitting in idleness all day stuffing themselves.
HERMES
You needn’t worry. They’ve been put on to serving Poseidon; they must ride over Or perhaps “ride, subduing the stormy seas”. the sea, and anywhere they see sailors in a storm, they must perch on the vessel and keep the crew safe.
APOLLO
A useful vocation that, Hermes, and one of salvation.
