come here and eat sausages at the feast of the Apaturia�察�he prayed his

father to come to the aid of his new country and Sitalces swore on his

goblet that he would succour us with such a host that the Athenians

would exclaim�察 �What a cloud of grasshoppers��

  DICAEOPOLIS ��aside��

    Damned if I believe a word of what you tell us� �Excepting the

grasshoppers�察�there is not a grain of truth in it all��

  THEORUS

    And he has sent you the most warlike soldiers of all Thrace。

  DICAEOPOLIS ��aside��

    Now we shall begin to see clearly。

  HERALD

    Come hither�察�Thracians�察�whom Theorus brought。

    ��A few Thracians are ushered in�察�they have a most unwarlike

        appearance�察�the most striking feature of their costume is the

        circumcised phallus。��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    What plague have we here��

  THEORUS

    The host of the Odomanti。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Of the Odomanti�拭�Tell me what it means。 Who sliced their tools

like that��

  THEORUS

    If they are given a wage of two drachmae�察�they will put all

Boeotia to fire and sword。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Two drachmae to those circumcised hounds� �Groan aloud�察�ye people

of rowers�察�bulwark of Athens� 。�The Odomanti steal his sack�� Ah��

great gods� �I am undone�察�these Odomanti are robbing me of my garlic��

Give me back my garlic。

  THEORUS

    Oh� �wretched man� �do not go near them�察�they have eaten garlic。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Prytanes�察�will you let me be treated in this manner�察�in my own

country and by barbarians�拭�But I oppose the discussion of paying a

wage to the Thracians�察�I announce an omen�察�I have just felt a drop

of rain。

  HERALD

    Let the Thracians withdraw and return the day after tomorrow��

the Prytanes declare the sitting at an end。

                                      ��All leave except DICAEOPOLIS。��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Ye gods�察�what garlic I have lost� �But here comes Amphitheus

returned from Lacedaemon。 Welcome�察�Amphitheus。

                        ��AMPHITHEUS enters�察�very much out of breath。��

  AMPHITHEUS

    No�察�there is no welcome for me and I fly as fast as I can�察�for I

am pursued by the Acharnians。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Why�察�what has happened��

  AMPHITHEUS

    I was hurrying to bring your treaty of truce�察�but some old dotards

from Acharnae got scent of the thing�察�they are veterans of Marathon��

tough as oak or maple�察�of which they are made for sure´rough and

ruthless。 They all started shouting�此 �Wretch� �you are the bearer of

a treaty�察�and the enemy has only just cut our vines� ─�Meanwhile they

were gathering stones in their cloaks�察�so I fled and they ran after me

shouting。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Let 'em shout as much as they please� �But have you brought me

treaty��

  AMPHITHEUS

    Most certainly�察�here are three samples to select from�察�this one is

five years old�察�taste it。

                                     ��He hands DICAEOPOLIS a bottle。��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Faugh��

  AMPHITHEUS

    What's the matter��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    I don't like it�察�it smells of pitch and of the ships they are

fitting out。

  AMPHITHEUS ��handing him another bottle��

    Here is another�察�ten years old�察�taste it。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    It smells strongly of the delegates�察�who go around the towns to

chide the allies for their slowness。

  AMPHITHEUS ��handing him a third bottle��

    This last is a truce of thirty years�察�both on sea and land。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Oh� �by Bacchus� �what a bouquet� �It has the aroma of nectar and

ambrosia�察�this does not say to us�察 �Provision yourselves for three

days。; But it lisps the gentle numbers�察 �Go whither you will。; I

accept it�察�ratify it�察�drink it at one draught and consign the

Acharnians to limbo。 Freed from the war and its ills�察�I shall

celebrate the rural Dionysia。

  AMPHITHEUS

    And I shall run away�察�for I'm mortally afraid of the Acharnians。

    ��AMPHITHEUS runs off。 DICAEOPOLIS goes into his house�察�carrying

        his truce。 The CHORUS of ACHARNIAN CHARCOAL BURNERS enters�察�in

        great haste and excitement。��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    This way all� �Let us follow our man�察�we will demand him of

everyone we meet�察�the public weal makes his seizure imperative。 Ho��

there� �tell me which way the bearer of the truce has gone。

  CHORUS ��singing��

    He has escaped us�察�he has disappeared。 Damn old age� �When I was

young�察�in the days when I followed Phayllus�察�running with a sack of

coals on my back�察�this wretch would not have eluded my pursuit�察�let

him be as swift as he will。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    But now my limbs are stiff�察�old Lacratides feels his legs are

weighty and the traitor escapes me。 No�察�no�察�let us follow him�察�old

Acharnians like our selves shall not be set at naught by a

scoundrel。。。。

  CHORUS ��singing��

    。。。。who has dared�察�by Zeus�察�to conclude a truce when I wanted

the war continued with double fury in order to avenge my ruined lands。

No mercy for our foes until I have pierced their hearts like sharp

reed�察�so that they dare never again ravage my vineyards。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Come�察�let us seek the rascal�察�let us look everywhere�察�carrying our

stones in our hands�察�let us hunt him from place to place until we trap

him�察�could never�察�never tire of the delight of stoning him。

  DICAEOPOLIS ��from within��

    Peace� �profane men��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Silence all� �Friends�察�do you hear the sacred formula�拭�Here is

he�察�whom we seek� �This way�察�all� �Get out of his way�察�surely he comes

to offer an oblation。

                                  ��The CHORUS withdraws to one side。��

  DICAEOPOLIS ��comes out with a pot in his hand�察�he is followed by

        his wife�察�his daughter�察�who carries a basket�察�and two slaves��

        who carry the phallus。��

    Peace�察�profane men� �Let the basket´bearer come forward�察�and thou

Xanthias�察�hold the phallus well upright。 Daughter�察�set down the basket

and let us begin the sacrifice。

  DAUGHTER OF DICAEOPOLIS ��putting down the basket and taking

                 out the sacred cake��

    Mother�察�hand me the ladle�察�that I may spread the sauce on the

cake。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    It is well� �Oh�察�mighty Bacchus�察�it is with joy that�察�freed from

military duty�察�I and all mine perform this solemn rite and offer

thee this sacrifice�察�grant that I may keep the rural Dionysia

without hindrance and that this truce of thirty years may be

propitious for me。 Come�察�my child�察�carry the basket gracefully and

with a grave�察�demure face。 Happy he who shall be your possessor and

embrace you so firmly at dawn�察�that you fart like a weasel。 Go

forward�察�and have a care they don't snatch your jewels in the crowd。

Xanthias�察�walk behind the basket´bearer and hold the phallus well

erect�察�I will follow�察�singing the Phallic hymn�察�thou�察�wife�察�look on

from the top of the terrace。 Forward��

                                                           ��He sings��

    Oh�察�Phales�察�companion of the orgies of Bacchus�察�night reveller��

god of adultery and of pederasty�察�these past six years I have not been

able to invoke thee。 With what joy I return to my farmstead�察�thanks to

the truce I have concluded�察�freed from cares�察�from fighting and from

Lamachuses� �How much sweeter�察�oh Phales�察�Phales�察�is it to surprise

Thratta�察�the pretty woodmaid�察�Strymodorus' slave�察�stealing wood from

Mount Phelleus�察�to catch her under the arms�察�to throw her�察�on the

ground and lay her�察�Oh�察�Phales�察�Phales� �If thou wilt drink and

bemuse thyself with me�察�we shall to´morrow consume some good dish in

honour of the peace�察�and I will hang up my buckler over the smoking

hearth。

       ��The procession reaches the place where the CHORUS is hiding。��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    That's the man himself。 Stone him�察�stone him�察�stone him�察�strike

the wretch。 All�察�all of you�察�pelt him�察�pelt him��

  DICAEOPOLIS ��using his pot for a shield��

    What is this�拭�By Heracles�察�you will smash my pot。

                           ��The daughter and the two slaves retreat。��

  CHORUS ��singing excitedly��

    It is you that we are stoning�察�you miserable scoundrel。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    And for what sin�察�Acharnian elders�察�tell me that��

  CHORUS ��singing�察�with greater excitement��

    You ask that�察�you impudent rascal�察�traitor to your country�察�you

alone amongst us all have concluded a truce�察�and you dare to look us

in the face��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    But you do not know why I have treated for peace。 Listen��

  CHORUS ��singing fiercely��

    Listen to you�拭�No�察�no�察�you are about to die�察�we will annihilate

you with our stones。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    But first of all�察�listen。 Stop�察�my friends。

  CHORUS ��singing�察�with intense hatred��

    I will hear nothing�察�do not address me�察�I hate you more than I

do Cleon�察�whom one day I shall flay to make sandals for the Knights。

Listen to your long speeches�察�after you have treated with the

Laconians�拭�No�察�I will punish you。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Friends�察�leave the Laconians out of debate and consider only

whether I have not done well to conclude my truce。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Done well� �when you have treated with a people who know neither

gods�察�nor truth�察�nor faith。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    We attribute too much to the Laconians�察�as for myself�察�I know that

they are not the cause of all our troubles。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Oh�察�indeed�察�rascal� �You dare to use such language to me and then

expect me to spare you��

  DICAEOPOLIS

    No�察�no�察�they are not the cause of all our troubles�察�and I who

address you claim to be able to prove that they have much to

complain of in us。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    This passes endurance�察�my heart bounds with fury。 Thus you dare to

defend our enemies。

  DICAEOPOLIS

    Were my head on the block I would uphold what I say and rely on

the approval of the people。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Comrades�察�let us hurl our stones and dye this fellow purple。

  DICAEOPOLIS
