Aristophanes, Frogs, 185-202
Χάρων
τίς εἰς ἀναπαύλας ἐκ κακῶν καὶ πραγμάτων; [185]
τίς ἐς τὸ Λήθης πεδίον, ἢ σ᾽ Ὄνου πόκας,
ἢ σ᾽ Κερβερίους, ἢ σ᾽ κόρακας, ἢ 'πὶ Ταίναρον;
Διόνυσος
ἐγώ.
Χάρων
ταχέως ἔμβαινε.
Διόνυσος
ποῖ σχήσειν δοκεῖς;
ἐς κόρακας ὄντως;
Χάρων
ναὶ μὰ Δία σοῦ γ᾽ οὕνεκα.
ἔσβαινε δή. [190]
Διόνυσος
παῖ δεῦρο.
Χάρων
δοῦλον οὐκ ἄγω,
εἰ μὴ νεναυμάχηκε τὴν περὶ τῶν κρεῶν.
Ξανθίας
μὰ τὸν Δί᾽ οὐ γὰρ ἀλλ᾽ ἔτυχον ὀφθαλμιῶν.
Χάρων
οὔκουν περιθρέξει δῆτα τὴν λίμνην κύκλῳ;
Ξανθίας
ποῦ δῆτ᾽ ἀναμενῶ;
Χάρων
παρὰ τὸν Αὑαίνου λίθον
ἐπὶ ταῖς ἀναπαύλαις. [195]
Διόνυσος
μανθάνεις;
Ξανθίας
πάνυ μανθάνω.
οἴμοι κακοδαίμων, τῷ ξυνέτυχον ἐξιών;
Χάρων
κάθιζ᾽ ἐπὶ κώπην. εἴ τις ἔτι πλεῖ, σπευδέτω.
οὗτος τί ποιεῖς;
Διόνυσος
ὅ τι ποιῶ; τί δ᾽ ἄλλο γ᾽ ἢ
ἵζω 'πὶ κώπην, οὗπερ ἐκέλευές με σύ;
Χάρων
οὔκουν καθεδεῖ δῆτ᾽ ἐνθαδὶ γάστρων;
Διόνυσος
ἰδού.
Χάρων
οὔκουν προβαλεῖ τὼ χεῖρε κἀκτενεῖς;
Διόνυσος
ἰδού.
Χάρων
οὐ μὴ φλυαρήσεις ἔχων ἀλλ᾽ ἀντιβὰς
ἐλᾷς προθύμως;
Kharon:
Who [wants] rest from evils and troubles?
Who [wants] to be among the Lethe-waters, or go to an ass-shearing,
or to Kerberos, or to the crows, or to Tainaros?
Dionysos:
Me.
Kharon:
Quickly, get in.
Dionysos:
Where do you think you'll steer?
To the crows, really?
Kharon:
By Zeus, yes, you on your account.
Get in already.
Dionysos:
How, here.
Kharon:
I'm not bringing a slave.
Not unless he's fought in the sea-battle about the kings.
Xanthias:
By Zeus, not but for I met with eye-disease.
Kharon:
So you'll walk in a circle around the lake, then?
Xanthias:
Where should I wait, then?
Kharon:
Beside the stone of wasting,
on the resting places.
Dionysos:
You understand?
Xanthias:
Certainly I understand.
Woe is me, ill-fated, [how could] I have fallen in with it?
Kharon:
Sit down at an oar. If someone else is sailing still, let them hurry up.
Hey, what are you doing?
Dionysos:
What am I doing? What other than
sitting on an oar, just as you told me.
Kharon:
You're not sitting like that, pot-belly?
Dionysos:
Look.
Kharon:
So you're putting forth your hands, you stretch out.
Dionysos:
Look.
Kharon:
Don't talk nonsense, but holding, you pull stoutly,
you set us readily in motion.
Karate today. Technique and application, which is where I always get confused with jujutsu these days. (Jujutsu: get close in and hit. Shotokan: stay at a distance and hit.) Interesting, although I'm responsible for a black eye, alas.
