ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΣ
καὶ μὴν οὐ Παντακλέα γε
ἐδίδαξεν ὅμως τὸν σκαιότατον . πρώην γοῦν , ἡνίκ᾿ ἔπεμπεν ,
τὸ κράνος πρῶτον περιδησάμενος τὸν λόφον ἤμελλ᾿ ἐπιδήσειν .
ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΣ
ἀλλ᾿ ἄλλους τοι πολλοὺς ἀγαθούς , ὧν ἦν καὶ Λάμαχος ἥρως ·
1040 ὅθεν ἡμὴ φρὴν ἀπομαξαμένη πολλὰς ἀρετὰς ἐποίησεν ,
Πατρόκλων , Τεύκρων θυμολεόντων , ἵν᾿ ἐπαίροιμ᾿ ἄνδρα πολίτην
ἀντεκτείνειν αὑτὸν τούτοις , ὁπόταν σάλπιγγος ἀκούσῃ .
ἀλλ᾿ οὐ μὰ Δί᾿ οὐ Φαίδρας ἐποίουν πόρνας οὐδὲ Σθενεβοίας ,
οὐδ᾿ οἶδ᾿ οὐδεὶς ἥντιν᾿ ἐρῶσαν πώποτ᾿ ἐποίησα γυναῖκα .
ΕΥΡΙΠΙΔΗΣ
1045 μὰ Δί᾿ , οὐ γὰρ ἐπῆν τῆς Ἀφροδίτης οὐδέν σοι .
ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΣ
μηδέ γ᾿ ἐπείη · ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ σοί τοι καὶ τοῖς σοῖσιν πολλὴ πολλοῦ ᾿πικαθῆτο ,
ὥστε γε καὐτόν σε κατ᾿ οὖν ἔβαλεν .
καὶ μὴν οὐ Παντακλέα γε
ἐδίδαξεν ὅμως τὸν σκαιότατον . πρώην γοῦν , ἡνίκ᾿ ἔπεμπεν ,
τὸ κράνος πρῶτον περιδησάμενος τὸν λόφον ἤμελλ᾿ ἐπιδήσειν .

Dionysus
Yes , but all the same he didn’t succeed with that lummox Pantacles , who just the other day , in a parade , was trying to fasten the crest to his helmet after he’d put it on !
Aeschylus
But surely he did succeed with many other brave men , one of whom was the hero Lamachus ; from that mold my imagination created many profiles in courage , men like Patroclus and the lionhearted Teucer , in hopes of inspiring every citizen to measure himself against them every time he heard the bugle . But I certainly created no whores like Phaedra and Stheneboea , and no one can find a lustful woman in anything I ever composed .
Euripides
Certainly not , since Aphrodite had absolutely nothing to do with you .
Aeschylus
And I hope she never does ! Whereas she plunked herself down plenty hard on you and yours , and yes , even flattened you personally .
