EROS

Don’t worry, mother; I’m quite used to the lions already; I often get up on their backs, grab hold of their manes and have a ride on them, and they make a fuss of me, letting me put my hand in their mouths, and licking it all over, and then let me take it out again. But what time will Rhea have to devote to me? She’s thinking of Attis the whole time. Anyway, what harm do I do by showing what beauty is like? It’s up to you to keep your hands off things of beauty; so you shouldn’t blame me for this. Or would you rather stop loving Ares and have him stop loving you?

APHRODITE

How smart you are. Got us all under your thumb, haven’t you? But you’ll remember what I’ve been saying one day.

Apollo And Hermes

APOLLO

What’s the joke, Hermes?

HERMES

It’s the funniest thing I ever saw, Apollo.

APOLLO

Well tell me, so that I too can hear and share the joke.

HERMES

Aphrodite has been surprised with Ares, and Hephaestus has caught them and tied them up. Cf. Odyssey, VIII, 266 ff., also referred to in The Cock 3 (vol. 2, p. 177) and p. 323.

APOLLO

How? It sounds as if you have a good story to tell. 5
