Empedocles

I did it in a fit of melancholy. 5

Menippus

Not you. Vanity, pride, folly; these were what burnt you up, slippers and all; and serve you right. All that ingenuity was thrown away, too: your death was detected.—

Aeacus

where is Socrates?

He is generally talking nonsense with Nestor and Palamedes.

Menippus

But I should like to see him, if he is anywhere about.

Aeacus

You see the bald one? 10

Menippus

They are all bald; that is a distinction without a difference,

Aeacus

The snub-nosed one.

Menippus

There again: they are all snub-nosed.

Socrates

Do you want me, Menippus?

Menippus

The very man I am looking for.

Socrates

How goes it in Athens?

Menippus

There are a great many young men there professing philosophy; and to judge from their dress and their walk, they should be perfect in it.

Socrates

I have seen many such. 5

Menippus

For that matter, I suppose you saw Aristippus arrive, reeking with scent; and Plato, the polished flatterer from Sicilian courts?

Socrates

And what do they think about me in Athens?

Menippus

Ah, you are fortunate in that respect. You pass for a most remarkable man, omniscient in fact. And all the time— if the truth must out—you know absolutely nothing.

Socrates

I told them that myself: but they would have it that that was my irony.

Menippus

And who are your friends?

Socrates

Charmides; Phaedrus; the son of Clinias.
