Dic quaeso : num te illa terrent , triceps apud inferos Cerberus , Cocyti fremitus , travectio Acherontis , ' mento summam aquam attingens enectus siti ' Tantalus ? tum illud , quod ' Sisyphus versat saxum sudans nitendo neque proficit hilum ? ' fortasse etiam inexorabiles iudices , Minos et Rhadamanthus ? apud quos nec te L . Crassus defendet nec M . Antonius nec , quoniam apud Graecos iudices res agetur , poteris adhibere Demosthenen ; tibi ipsi pro te erit maxima corona causa dicenda . haec fortasse metuis et idcirco mortem censes esse sempiternum malum .
Tell
me
,
I
beseech
you
,
are
you
afraid
of
the
three-headed
Cerberus
in
the
shades
below
,
and
the
roaring
waves
of
Cocytus
,
and
the
passage
over
Acheron
,
and
Tantalus
expiring
with
thirst
,
while
the
water
touches
his
chin
;
and
Sisyphus
,
Who
sweats
with
arduous
toil
in
vain
The
steepy
summit
of
the
mount
to
gain
?
Perhaps
,
too
,
you
dread
the
inexorable
judges
,
Minos
and
Rhadamanthus
;
before
whom
neither
L
.
Crassus
nor
M
.
Antonius
can
defend
you
;
and
where
,
since
the
cause
lies
before
Grecian
judges
,
you
will
not
even
be
able
to
employ
Demosthenes
;
but
you
must
plead
for
yourself
before
a
very
great
assembly
.
These
things
perhaps
you
dread
,
and
therefore
look
on
death
as
an
eternal
evil
.
