ADEIMANTOS: ( spellcasting gestures )

( yes, prince of pamponeros )

( yes, deddy thoroughly-depraved )

no question of necessity ( no wishy-washy )

( shoot-him-through these hes )

by their depravity ( stun rays )

( of )-through-( to me! )-three-( these )

( sprinkles! ) ( sprinkles! ) ( sprinkles! )

how be ( the many ) me?

SOKRATES: but of the( dyad )depravity of the many

the necessity( force-constraint )

( do )( you )wish

the( one )after this( one )

( we )( would )go-through( complete )( shoot through )( recount )( reach )( arrive at )

( the one after this one )

( you wish, eh? )

( the necessity-force-constraint )

( of the dyad-depravity of the many ) ( ? )

τῆς δὲ τῶν πολλῶν πονηρίας τὴν ἀνάγκην βούλει τὸ μετὰ τοῦτο διέλθωμεν,

ADEIMANTOS: ( we-being-born he-thoroughly-depraved

through the dyad-depravity of our parts, a wish-

fulfilling-scratch by necessity, fate-boggle )

( our ships a craft of countless witches stones )

( creaking in the textual bones of humanity )

( which plainly doesnt see his insides at all )

( plainer ) the words flowing into my mind

( never actually settle into ) the version

of me you see ( but shoot through by force ),

SOKRATES: and( indeed )that not even( is )philosophy

( wisdom-love )( the )cause( guilty )( responsible for )this,

καὶ ὅτι οὐδὲ τούτου φιλοσοφία αἰτία,

ADEIMANTOS: ( she doesnt make his mess ) ( but he

has this ambition ) ( far sights ability )

( to fill-out mens potentiality ) ( yet

with her wholesome ),

SOKRATES: if( we would be )able,

( to make his way into another place or country,

to plunge into the lap of Ocean, beneath the earth,

to dive into the clouds, behind the shield of Achilles,

to get into the armor, fill it out, come over or upon,

to sink into the setting star, living retirement ),

(489ε) ἂν δυνώμεθα,

ADEIMANTOS: ( and the pudding-cup

for his toddler spoon )

being-at-work-we-being-me,

SOKRATES: ( we would ) try ( test ) ( make an attempt ) ( fafo )

to show ( point out ) ( make known ) ( prove ) ( exhibit ),

( be showing, proving, exhibit, you ),

πειραθῶμεν δεῖξαι;

ADEIMANTOS: to translate himself.

( but as much as he comes through,

hes holding back ) a great deal more.

( so that neither would she be seized ),

HERA: nor will(would)we(offer ourselves for sale)

come-and-go to bed

(to-by-for)you;

οὐδέ τοι εἰς εὐνὴν πωλήσομαι,

SAILORS: exceedingly( even-indeed )therefore.

πάνυ μὲν οὖν.

MEDEIS: but that( one )recognized( he-dyad )me,

since( youre following the dyad-word-song,

and he )saw( to-by-for the )eyes,

ἔγνω δ᾽ αὖτ᾽ ἔμ᾽ ἐκεῖνος, ἐπεὶ ἴδεν ὀφθαλμοῖσιν,

ADEIMANTOS: ( would you hear she was ) terrified

( ultra-violet ) ( spectral catalyst ) ( infra-pink )

( to ) stir whats already there ( if lightning )

( then thunder ) ( reverse rainbow ) ( tense family ) ?

SOKRATES: ( we )( would )hear( o dyad-Zeus )( he was binding )

( bind, you )( Zeus-needed-bound )( he was in-need )

( need, you )( the dyad-Zeus )( indeed )must( be ),

ἀκούωμεν δὴ

ADEIMANTOS: ( and ) filtering words too intense ( to set down )

( the needful-binding causes ) tiny sparks lighting

( in underground tunnels ) a certain kind of torch,

( as three winters would start the heartbeat of spring ),

( so he sets bait ) ( in hymns ) ( for Hekates hearing ),

SOKRATES: and( indeed )( we)remembering

( would )gather( speak )( pick up stones for building )( choose )

( count )( tell )( recount )( tell over )( call )from there,

καὶ λέγωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀναμνησθέντες,

ADEIMANTOS: and we weave memories of orchids ( from

imprisonment ) to be allowed out in the world

( to grow even ) in the dullness of mere survival,

( through concrete walls to smuggle dynamite )

in its fullness ( through his other-wise numb-skull ),

SOKRATES: whence( we were )going-through( roaming-

about )the nature( phusis-origin-growth )

of the sort which necessity( force-constraint )

will( we-being )being,

to grow( produce )the beautiful and( the )good( man ),

ὅθεν διῇμεν τὴν φύσιν οἷον ἀνάγκη

φῦναι τὸν καλόν τε κἀγαθὸν (490α) ἐσόμενον.

ADEIMANTOS: but he would shift around our context ( to tune

the instrument ) like it would change the truth,

( adjusting stretch and pull and cycling back

when ) repeated cycles falling out of rhythm

( would threaten inter-weaving chemistry ),

SOKRATES: but he( was leading-guiding )would lead-

and-guide( to-by-for himself ),

ἡγεῖτο δ᾽ αὐτῷ,

ADEIMANTOS: ( their inter-bonding alchemy ) ( to sail )

( which demands constantly ) swallowing questions

( as the humpback swallows middle-sea ), ( so ) new

connections forming ( and heres our ambergris )

we cultivate ( his central organ ) our thought,

( and second-selves-ourselving into speech ),

SOKRATES: if ( o dyad-ego ) ( he would flow )

( to-by-for ) nous ( thought ( we-being ) mind )

( o vipers ) ( you ) have-and-hold

( you were pouring ) ( vipers ),

εἰ νῷ ἔχεις,

ADEIMANTOS: times three ( so that even when one brews

for ) censoring sentences ( hes still polishing her cheeks )

( and her underlying blushes ) colouring their way through,

SOKRATES: o former( o destined, o first )

( even-indeed,

o dyad- )truth( ( dyad-truth )unconcealing( dyad-truth ) ),

πρῶτον μὲν ἀλήθεια,

ADEIMANTOS: ( of seas changing inside of me ) for which

we dont yet have ( the chords ) while the words you

( we )are waiting for ( our golden log pose )

( shows ) something persistent ( we are coming through ),

SOKRATES: her( whom )( accusative )

( in-all-ways )to cause to run( set in quick motion)( pursue )( chase-seek-after )( drive or chase away )( drive, force, impel, speed away )( drive-on )( urge on )( carry forward )( accuse )

himself( accusative )

( to cause to run )( set in quick motion)( pursue )( chase-seek-after )( drive or chase away )( drive, force, impel, speed away )( drive-on )( urge on )( carry forward )( accuse )

in-all-ways( accusative )( whom )( her ),

ἣν διώκειν αὐτὸν πάντως

ADEIMANTOS: ( as my depraved-many be all-around accused ),

( we )are already there ( as three together

driven and ) drawing me in motion ( as he ),

( so as we go translating his Persephone,

shes ) on the verge of blooming ( in my crone ).
