So he spoke , and Kalypso , shining among divinities ,
shuddered , and answered him in winged words and addressed him :
‘You are hard-hearted , you gods , and jealous beyond all creatures
beside , when you are resentful toward the goddesses for sleeping
120 openly with such men as each has made her true husband .
So when Dawn of the rosy fingers chose out Orion ,
all you gods who live at your ease were full of resentment ,
until chaste Artemis of the golden throne in Ortygia
came with a visitation of painless arrows and killed him ;
125 and so it was when Demeter of the lovely hair , yielding
to her desire , lay down with Iasion and loved him
in a thrice-turned field , it was not long before this was made known
to Zeus , who struck him down with a cast of the shining thunderbolt .
So now , you gods , you resent it in me that I keep beside me
130 a man , the one I saved when he clung astride of the keel board
all alone , since Zeus with a cast of the shining thunderbolt
had shattered his fast ship midway on the wine-blue water .
Then all the rest of his excellent companions perished ,
but the wind and the current carried him here and here they drove him ,
135 and I gave him my love and cherished him , and I had hopes also
that I could make him immortal and all his days to be endless .
But since there is no way for another god to elude the purpose
of aegis-bearing Zeus or bring it to nothing , let him go ,
let him go , if he himself is asking for this and desires it ,
140 out on the barren sea ; but I will not give him conveyance ,
for I have not any ships by me nor any companions
who can convey him back across the sea ' s wide ridges ;
but I will freely give him my counsel and hold back nothing ,
so that all without harm he can come back to his own country . ’
145 Then in turn the courier Argeïphontes answered her : ‘Then send
him accordingly on his way , and beware of the anger
of Zeus , lest he hold a grudge hereafter and rage against you . ’
shuddered , and answered him in winged words and addressed him :

Calypso shuddered and let fly at him .
" You cruel , jealous gods ! You bear a grudge
whenever any goddess takes a man
to sleep with as a lover in her bed . 120
Just so the gods who live at ease were angry
when rosy-fingered Dawn took up Orion ,
and from her golden throne , chaste Artemis
attacked and killed him with her gentle arrows .
Demeter with the cornrows in her hair
indulged her own desire , and she made love
with Iasion in triple-furrowed fields—
till Zeus found out , hurled flashing flame and killed him .
So now , you male gods are upset with me f
or living with a man . A man I saved ! 130
Zeus pinned his ship and with his flash of lightning
smashed it to pieces . All his friends were killed
out on the wine-dark sea . This man alone ,
clutching the keel , was swept by wind and wave ,
and came here , to my home . I cared for him
and loved him , and I vowed to set him free
from time and death forever . Still , I know
no other god can change the will of Zeus .
So let him go , if that is Zeus’ order ,
across the barren sea . I will not give 140
an escort for this trip across the water ;
I have no ships or rowers . But I will
share what I know with him , and gladly give
useful advice so he can safely reach
his home . " The mediator , Zeus’ servant ,
replied , " Then send him now , avoid the wrath
of Zeus , do not enrage him , or one day
his rage will hurt you . " With these words , he vanished .

ἀμφιλεξάντων δέ τι ἐνταῦθα τῶν τε τοῦ Μένωνος στρατιωτῶν καὶ τῶν τοῦ Κλεάρχου ὁ Κλέαρχος κρίνας ἀδικεῖν τὸν τοῦ Μένωνος πληγὰς ἐνέβαλεν · ὁ δὲ ἐλθὼν πρὸς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ στράτευμα ἔλεγεν · ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ στρατιῶται ἐχαλέπαινον καὶ ὠργίζοντο ἰσχυρῶς τῷ Κλεάρχῳ . τῇ δὲ αὐτῇ ἡμέρᾳ Κλέαρχος ἐλθὼν ἐπὶ τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐκεῖ κατασκεψάμενος τὴν ἀγορὰν ἀφιππεύει ἐπὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σκηνὴν διὰ τοῦ Μένωνος στρατεύματος σὺν ὀλίγοις τοῖς περὶ αὐτόν · Κῦρος δὲ οὔπω ἧκεν , ἀλλʼ ἔτι προσήλαυνε · τῶν δὲ Μένωνος στρατιωτῶν ξύλα σχίζων τις ὡς εἶδε Κλέαρχον διελαύνοντα , ἵησι τῇ ἀξίνῃ · καὶ οὗτος μὲν αὐτοῦ ἥμαρτεν · ἄλλος δὲ λίθῳ καὶ ἄλλος , εἶτα πολλοί , κραυγῆς γενομένης .
There
one
of
Menon’s
soldiers
and
one
of
Clearchus’
men
had
some
dispute
,
and
Clearchus
,
deciding
that
Menon’s
man
was
in
the
wrong
,
gave
him
a
flogging
.
The
man
then
went
to
his
own
army
and
told
about
it
,
and
when
his
comrades
heard
of
the
matter
,
they
took
it
hard
and
were
exceedingly
angry
with
Clearchus
.
On
the
same
day
Clearchus
,
after
going
to
the
place
where
they
crossed
the
river
and
there
inspecting
the
market
,
was
riding
back
to
his
own
tent
through
Menon’s
army
,
having
only
a
few
men
with
him
;
and
Cyrus
had
not
yet
arrived
,
but
was
still
on
the
march
toward
the
place
;
and
one
of
Menon’s
soldiers
who
was
splitting
wood
threw
his
axe
at
Clearchus
when
he
saw
him
riding
through
the
camp
.
Now
this
man
missed
him
,
but
another
threw
a
stone
at
him
,
and
still
another
,
and
then
,
after

had
been
raised

ταῦτα οὖν φιλοπολέμου μοι δοκεῖ ἀνδρὸς ἔργα εἶναι , ὅστις ἐξὸν μὲν εἰρήνην ἄγειν ἄνευ αἰσχύνης καὶ βλάβης αἱρεῖται πολεμεῖν , ἐξὸν δὲ ῥᾳθυμεῖν βούλεται πονεῖν ὥστε πολεμεῖν , ἐξὸν δὲ χρήματα ἔχειν ἀκινδύνως αἱρεῖται πολεμῶν μείονα ταῦτα ποιεῖν : ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὥσπερ εἰς παιδικὰ ἢ εἰς ἄλλην τινὰ ἡδονὴν ἤθελε δαπανᾶν εἰς πόλεμον . οὕτω μὲν φιλοπόλεμος ἦν :
Now
such
conduct
as
this
,
in
my
opinion
,
reveals
a
man
fond
of
war
.
When
he
may
enjoy
peace
without
dishonour
or
harm
,
he
chooses
war
;
when
he
may
live
in
idleness
,
he
prefers
toil
,
provided
it
be
the
toil
of
war
;
when
he
may
keep
his
money
without
risk
,
he
elects
to
diminish
it
by
carrying
on
war
.
As
for
Clearchus
,
just
as
one
spends
upon
a
loved
one
or
upon
any
other
pleasure
,
so
he
wanted
to
spend
upon
war
—
such
a
lover
he
was
of
war
.

And
from
out
of
this
,
he
was
put
to
death
by
the
authorities
in
Sparta
because
of
being
disobedient
.
And
already
being
an
exile
,
he
comes
to
Cyrus
,
and
indeed
with
the
words
of
what
sort
he
persuaded
Cyrus
as
written
in
another
place
,
Cyrus
does
give
to
him
innumerable
darics
.
And the man , having received , did not turn towards idleness , but having gathered an army from this money was making war with the Thracians , and did prevail in battle and from this point was carrying and leading these and went through being at war until Cyrus had need of the army . And at that time , he went away , as if he were about to make war together with that one again .
Accordingly , these acts seem to me to be of a man fond of war . When he being allowed to lead peace without shame and harm , he chooses to keep making war ; and being allowed to idle , he wishes to keep working hard in order to be at war ; and being allowed to have money without danger , he chooses to keep making these things less by making war . But that one , just as if towards children or towards any other pleasure , he was wishing to keep spending towards war .
