HERMES

Let us be going down, so that we may exterminate at least a few of them to-day. What direction should we take, Philosophy? You know where they are. In Greece, no doubt?

PHILOSOPHY

Not by any means, or only a few, those who are genuine students of philosophy, Hermes. These others have no use for Attic poverty; we must look for them in some quarter where much gold or silver is mined.

HERMES

Then we must make straight for Thrace.

HERACLES

Quite right, and indeed I will show you the way, as I know the whole of Thrace from repeated visits. So, if you please, let us now take this direction.

Κατίωμεν, ὡς κἂν ὀλίγους αὐτῶν ἐπιτρίψωμεν σήμερον. ποίαν δὲ χρὴ τραπέσθαι, ὦ Φιλοσοφία; σὺ γὰρ οἶσθα ὅπου εἰσίν. ἢ πρόδηλον ὅτι ἐν τῇ Ἑλλάδι;

Φιλοσοφία

οὐδαμῶς, ἢ πάνυ ὀλίγοι, ὅσοι ὀρθῶς φιλοσοφοῦσιν, ὦ Ἑρμῆ. οὗτοι δὲ οὐδὲν Ἀττικῆς πενίας δέονται, ἀλλʼ ἔνθα πολὺς χρυσὸς ἢ ἄργυρος ὀρύττεται, ἐκεῖ που ζητητέοι εἰσὶν ἡμῖν.

Ἑρμῆς

οὐκοῦν εὐθὺ τῆς Θρᾴκης ἀπιτέον.

εὖ λέγεις, καὶ ἡγήσομαί γε ὑμῖν τῆς ὁδοῦ. οἶδα γὰρ τὰ Θρᾳκῶν ἅπαντα, συχνάκις ἐπελθών. καί μοι τήνδε ἤδη τραπώμεθα.

Hera

Yes, come along, and we will polish off a few to-day.— Which way, Philosophy? You know where they are to be found. Somewhere in Greece, of course?

Philosophy

Oh no; the few that there are in Greece are genuine philosophers. Attic poverty is not at all to the liking of the impostors; we must look for them in places where gold and silver mines abound.

Hera

Straight to Thrace, then?

Hera

Yes, Thrace, and I will show you the way. I know every inch of Thrace; I have been there so often. Look here, this is our route.

Hera

Yes?
