certainly�察�by Artemis�察�and we�察�are angry with Euripides�察�who assuredly

treats us no worse than we deserve��

  CHORUS ��singing��

    Great gods� �where has she unearthed all that�拭�What country gave

birth to such an audacious woman�拭�Oh� �you wretch� �I should not have

thought ever a one of us could have spoken in public with such

impudence。 'Tis clear�察�however�察�that we must expect everything and�察�as

the old proverb says�察�must look beneath every stone�察�lest it conceal

some orator ready to sting us。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    There is but one thing in the world worse than a shameless

woman�察�and that's another woman。

  FIRST WOMAN

    By Aglaurus� �you have lost your wits�察�friends� �You must be

bewitched to suffer this plague to belch forth insults against us all。

Is there no one has any spirit at all�拭�If not�察�we and our

maid´servants will punish her。 Run and fetch coals and let's

depilate her in proper style�察�to teach her not to speak ill of her

sex。

  MNESILOCHUS

    Oh no no� �not that part of me�察�my friends。 Have we not the right

to speak frankly at this gathering�拭�And because I have uttered what

I thought right in favour of Euripides�察�do you want to depilate me for

my trouble��

  FIRST WOMAN

    What� �we ought not to punish you�察�who alone have dared to defend

the man who has done so much harm�察�whom it pleases to put all the vile

women that ever were upon the stage�察�who only shows us Melanippes

and Phaedras�拭�But of Penelope he has never said a word�察�because she

was reputed chaste and good。

  MNESILOCHUS

    I know the reason。 It's because not a single Penelope exists among

the women of to´day�察�but all without exception are Phaedras。

  FIRST WOMAN

    Women�察�you hear how this creature still dares to speak of us all。

  MNESILOCHUS

    And�察�Heaven knows�察�I have not said all that I know。 Do you want

any more��

  FIRST WOMAN

    You cannot tell us any more�察�you have crapped out all you know。

  MNESILOCHUS

    Why�察�I have not told the thousandth part of what we women do。 Have

I said how we use the hollow bandles of our brooms to draw up wine

unbeknown to our husbands��

  FIRST WOMAN

    The cursed jade��

  MNESILOCHUS

    And how we give meats to our pimps at the feast of the Apaturia

and then accuse the cat。。。。

  FIRST WOMAN

    You're crazy��

  MNESILOCHUS

    。。。。Have I mentioned the woman who killed her husband with a

hatchet�拭�Of another�察�who caused hers to lose his reason with her

potions�拭�And of the Acharnian woman。。。。

  FIRST WOMAN

    Die�察�you bitch��

  MNESILOCHUS

    。。。。who buried her father beneath the bath��

  FIRST WOMAN

    And yet we listen to such things��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Have I told how you attributed to yourself the male child your

slave had just borne and gave her your little daughter��

  FIRST WOMAN

    This insult calls for vengeance。 Look out for your hair��

  MNESILOCHUS

    By Zeus� �don't touch me。

  FIRST WOMAN ��slapping him��

    There��

  MNESILOCHUS ��hitting back��

    There� �tit for tat��

  FIRST WOMAN

    Hold my cloak�察�Philista��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Come on then�察�and by Demeter。。。。

  FIRST WOMAN

    Well� �what��

  MNESILOCHUS

    I'll make you crap forth the sesame´cake you have eaten。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Stop wrangling� �I see a woman running here in hot haste。 Keep

silent�察�so that we may hear the better what she has to say。

                              ��Enter CLISTHENES�察�dressed as a woman。��

  CLISTHENES

    Friends�察�whom I copy in all things�察�my hairless chin

sufficiently evidences how dear you are to me�察�I am women´mad and make

myself their champion wherever I am。 Just now on the market´place I

heard mention of a thing that is of the greatest importance to you��

I come to tell it to you�察�to let you know it�察�so that you may watch

carefully and be on your guard against the danger which threatens you。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    What is it�察�my child�拭�I can well call you child�察�for you have so

smooth a skin。

  CLISTHENES

    They say that Euripides has sent an old man here to´day�察�one of

his relations。。。。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    With what object�拭�What is his idea��

  CLISTHENES

    。。。。so that he may hear your speeches and inform him of your

deliberations and intentions。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    But how would a man fail to be recognized amongst women��

  CLISTHENES

    Euripides singed and depilated him and disguised him as a woman。

  MNESILOCHUS

    This is pure invention� �What man is fool enough to let himself

be depilated�拭�As for myself�察�I don't believe a word of it。

  CLISTHENES

    Nonsense� �I should not have come here to tell you�察�if I did not

know it on indisputable authority。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Great gods� �what is it you tell us� �Come�察�women�察�let us not lose a

moment�察�let us search and rummage everywhere� �Where can this man

have hidden himself to escape our notice�拭�Help us to look�察�Clisthenes��

we shall thus owe you double thanks�察�dear friend。

  CLISTHENES

    Well then� �let us see。 To begin with you�察�who are you��

  MNESILOCHUS ��aside��

    Wherever am I to stow myself��

  CLISTHENES

    Each and every one must pass the scrutiny。

  MNESILOCHUS ��aside��

    Oh� �great gods��

  FIRST WOMAN

    You ask me who I am�拭�I am the wife of Cleonynus。

  CLISTHENES ��to the LEADER OF THE CHORUS��

    Do you know this woman��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Yes�察�yes�察�pass on to the rest。

  CLISTHENES

    And she who carries the child��

  FIRST WOMAN

    Surely�察�she's my nurse。

  MNESILOCHUS ��aside��

    This is the end。

                                                       ��He runs off。��

  CLISTHENES

    Hi� �you there� �where are you going�拭�Stop。 What are you running

away for��

  MNESILOCHUS ��dancing on one leg��

    I want to take a pee�察�you brazen thing。

  CLISTHENES

    Well�察�be quick about it�察�I shall wait for you here。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Wait for her and examine her closely�察�she's the only one we do not

know。

  CLISTHENES

    That's a long leak you're taking。

  MNESILOCHUS

    God�察�yes�察�I am constricted�察�I ate some cress yesterday。

  CLISTHENES

    What are you chattering about cress�拭�Come here� �and be quick。

                                ��He starts to pull MNESILOCHUS back。��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Oh� �don't pull a poor sick woman about like that。

  CLISTHENES ��looking MNESILOCHUS square in the eye��

    Tell me�察�who is your husband��

  MNESILOCHUS ��embarrassed��

    My husband�拭�Do you know a certain individual at Cothocidae。。。��

  CLISTHENES

    Whom do you mean�拭�Give his name。

  MNESILOCHUS

    He's an individual to whom the son of a certain individual one

day。。。

  CLISTHENES

    You are drivelling� �Let's see�察�have you ever been here before��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Why certainly�察�every year。

  CLISTHENES

    Who is your tent companion��

  MNESILOCHUS

    A certain。。。。 Oh� �my god��

  CLISTHENES

    That's not an answer��

  FIRST WOMAN

    Withdraw�察�all of you�察�I am going to examine her thoroughly about

last year's mysteries。 But move away�察�Clisthenes�察�for no man may

hear what is going to be said。 Now answer my questions� �What was

done first��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Let's see now。 What was done first�拭�Oh� �we drank。

  FIRST WOMAN

    And then��

  MNESILOCHUS

    We drank to our healths。

  FIRST WOMAN

    You will have heard that from someone。 And then��

  MNESILOCHUS

    Xenylla asked for a cup�察�there wasn't any thunder´mug。

  FIRST WOMAN

    You're talking nonsense。 Here�察�Clisthenes�察�here This is the man

you were telling us about。

  CLISTHENES

    What shall we do with him��

  FIRST WOMAN

    Take off his clothes�察�I can get nothing out of him。

  MNESILOCHUS

    What� �are you going to strip a mother of nine children naked��

  CLISTHENES

    Come�察�undo your girdle�察�you shameless thing。

  FIRST WOMAN

    Ah� �what a sturdy frame� �but she has no breasts like we have。

  MNESILOCHUS

    That's because I'm barren。 I never had any children。

  FIRST WOMAN

    Oh� �indeed� �just now you were the mother of nine。

  CLISTHENES

    Stand up straight。 What do you keep pushing that thing down for��

  FIRST WOMAN ��peering from behind��

    There's no mistaking it。

  CLISTHENES ��also peering from behind��

    Where has it gone to now��

  FIRST WOMAN

    To the front。

  CLISTHENES ��from in front��

    No。

  FIRST WOMAN ��from behind��

    Ah� �it's behind now。

  CLISTHENES

    Why�察�friend�察�it's just like the Isthmus�察�you keep pulling your

stick backwards and forwards more often than the Corinthians do

their ships

  FIRST WOMAN

    Ah� �the wretch� �this is why he insulted us and defended Euripides。

  MNESILOCHUS

    Aye�察�wretch indeed�察�what troubles have I not got into now��

  FIRST WOMAN

    What shall we do��

  CLISTHENES

    Watch him closely�察�so that he does not escape。 As for me�察�I'll

go to report the matter to the magistrates。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Let us kindle our lamps�察�let us go firmly to work and with

courage�察�let us take off our cloaks and search whether some other

man has not come here too�察�let us pass round the whole Pnyx�察�examine

the tents and the passages。 Come�察�be quick�察�let us start off on a

light toe and rummage all round in silence。 Let us hasten�察�let us

finish our round as soon as possible。

  CHORUS ��singing��

    Look quickly for the traces that might show you a man hidden here��

let your glance fall on every side�察�look well to the right and to

the left。 If we seize some impious fellow�察�woe to him� �He will know

how we punish the outrage�察�the crime�察�the sacrilege。 The criminal will

then acknowledge at last that gods exist�察�his fate will teach all

men that the deities must be revered�察�that justice must be observed

and that they must submit to the sacred laws。 If not�察�then woe to

them� �Heaven itself will punish sacrilege�察�being aflame with fu
