ADEIMANTOS: hold on to your buts,

MEDEIS( NOBODY ): O( to-by-for )me( we )i( being )cowardly( vile,

worthless, lowborn, mean, afraid, miserable, wretched, poor ),

ADEIMANTOS: we ask myself,

MEDEIS: what( someone )now( to-by-for )me longest-

lasting( would be )born?

ὤ μοι ἐγὼ δειλός, τί νύ μοι μήκιστα γένηται;

ADEIMANTOS: keep your ifs inside the she-vessel,

PINDAR: ( o )HIGHEST( uppermost, most supreme )horse-driver

( charioteer )( thunder-hurler )( lyre-striker )( rower )

( who drives away )( a broad, flat cake )( hoop-stick )

of untiring( of foot )thunder —

( astonishment ! )

ZEUS,

ἐλατὴρ ὑπέρτατε βροντᾶς ἀκαμαντόποδος Ζεῦ:

ADEIMANTOS: but keep your ands easy to reach-for,

HERAKLES: but he( and yall )inflicted upon( imposed )

( commanded-charged-prescribed )

( gave an order )( to-by-for )me

difficult( cruel-harsh-stern-dangerous-violent-

malignant )tasks( contests-conflicts

struggles-ordeals ),

ὁ δέ μοι χαλεποὺς ἐπετέλλετ᾽ ἀέθλους.

ADEIMANTOS: good thing ( its not the end goal ) that matters,

as swirling voices ( we really believe ),

and were not sure yet if its irony,

but ( the way you respond only to me )

would momentarily become difficult,

MEDEIS: we( would )fear lest

( it )( o dyad-god )( she was binding )( bind, you )

( god-needed-bound )( she was in-need )( need,

you )( the dyad-god )( indeed )must( be ),

all( the )( dyad- )goddess( unerring )infallible said,

(300) δείδω μὴ δὴ πάντα θεὰ νημερτέα εἶπεν,

ADEIMANTOS: and ( my skin is electricity ) charged

with the polarity of poetries,

( we-turning ) languages of men

inside organic me,

PINDAR: for your( she- )SEASONS( being-fitting-times ),

τεαὶ γὰρ ὧραι

MEDEIS: she spoke( to-by-for )me in the sea,

ἥ μ᾽ ἔφατ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ,

ADEIMANTOS: aiming less for instability,

PINDAR: TURNING( -dancing- )ROUND( whirling-

plying )( winding-minding )under the subtle( -many-

colored-complex-dappled-embroidered-wily-unstable-

)notes of the lyre-( phorminx )-SONG —

ὑπὸ ποικιλοφόρμιγγος ἀοιδᾶς ἑλισσόμεναί

ADEIMANTOS: balancing the two of these,

bearing witness to his nostos,

MEDEIS: before( you )come( reach )( approach )

( supplicate )( the she- )fatherland( she )earth,

πρὶν πατρίδα γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι,

ADEIMANTOS: or coming home to his witnessing,

PINDAR: ( they-she )SENT me,

μ᾽ ἔπεμψαν


ADEIMANTOS: and ( its the journey ) we say OUT LOUD,

as we can barely hear herself,

over these hims,

MEDEIS: ( you would )FULFILL( have full measure of )

( you would feel pains )( he was feeling pains )

( feel pain, you )( dyad- )PAIN( sufferings, grief ),

ἄλγε᾽ ἀναπλήσειν:

ADEIMANTOS: dipping fingers

in the teacup,

PINDAR: ( as )WITNESS( o witness )( o guardian )

of the HIGHEST( loftiest )( proudest )

contests( struggles, tasks, conflicts, ORDEALS ),

ὑψηλοτάτων μάρτυρ᾽ ἀέθλων.

SOKRATES: ( we )i( being )( to-by-for )you,

ἐγώ σοι,

ADEIMANTOS: ( in a language )

we are learning as we go along,

( we hear the air crackling )

with some almighty agreements,

with some almighty friends,

MEDEIS: but now all of( she- )this

( o dyad-god )( she was binding )( bind, you )

( god-needed-bound )( she was in-need )( need, you )

( the dyad-god )( indeed )must( be )

( will be )( is )accomplished,

τὰ δὲ δὴ νῦν πάντα τελεῖται.

ADEIMANTOS: as the dog hears too,

PINDAR: but( of )guest-friends( XENION )

( strangers, hosts, foreigners )doing( FARING )WELL,

GOOD( brave, stout, faithful, well-bred )( men )

WAG the TAIL( show joyful-delight and fondness )

( fawn-upon )( pay-court-to )( greet )( gladden )

FORTHWITH( at once )( immediately )( on the spot )

( o drinker, take a drink! )

toward( the )SWEET( fresh, pleasant, deligtful )

MESSAGE( tidings-news-report-announcement-

messenger ),

ξείνων δ᾽ εὖ πρασσόντων ἔσαναν αὐτίκ᾽ ἀγγελίαν

ποτὶ γλυκεῖαν ἐσλοί.

ADEIMANTOS: whats the message, o Sokrates?

SOKRATES: ( o saying )( the saying )

( say, you! )they say( we say )

( the saying )

( the weight that falls on a mouse in a trap ),

εἶπον,

ADEIMANTOS: but whats that mousetrappy thing?

its always kind of showing up

but he leaves hooks concealed so far in

its ( unknown to almost everyone else )

its unknown even to him until

we unexpectedly stumble on the answer

( when your hand moves on paths )

when the mousetraps catch us,

MEDEIS: ( to-by-for )such clouds Zeus enwreathes

( crowns-around )( you are surrounded, enwreathed )

( the )wide( broad )sky( heavens ),

οἵοισιν νεφέεσσι περιστέφει οὐρανὸν εὐρὺν
Ζεύς,

PINDAR: but still,

[10] ἀλλ᾽,

ADEIMANTOS: as ( someone said )

who wasnt nobody,

MEDEIS: but( he )stirs up( troubles )( agitates )( throws

into disorder )( confusion )( and anarchy )( the )sea,

ἐτάραξε δὲ πόντον,

ADEIMANTOS: but hes not anarchist at all,

PINDAR: O CHILD of Kronos,

ὦ Κρόνου παῖ,

ADEIMANTOS: but not quite dyadic

enough for nobody,

MEDEIS: but( the )storm( whirl- )winds urge-on

( to-by-for )( rushing )( blowing-furiously )( of )winds of all sorts,

ἐπισπέρχουσι δ᾽ ἄελλαι

(305) παντοίων ἀνέμων.

ADEIMANTOS: yet we-being pharmakronik,

PINDAR: ( you )who( o VIPERS! )( you pour out )

( you )have-and-hold( Mount )Aetna,

ὃς Αἴτναν ἔχεις,

ADEIMANTOS: as he grabs me by

the ( horses ) heartstrings,

MEDEIS: now( to-by-for )me safe( sure, certain,

sound, alive and well )( would be )sheer

( utter )( high and steep )( lofty )( towering )destruction( ruin )( death ),

νῦν μοι σῶς αἰπὺς ὄλεθρος.

ADEIMANTOS: he cant help it, he cant resist,

somebody feels like the kind of dad

such as nobody wishes he could have had,

PINDAR: ( the )WINDY( airy )( rapid-rushing )

( stirred and filled by the wind )dropping-

WEIGHT( EIPON )( mouse-trap-song )

( of )strong( mighty )( o dyad- )hundred-

( HEKATO-KEPHALAS )-headed TYPHON,

ἶπον ἀνεμόεσσαν ἑκατογκεφάλα Τυφῶνος ὀβρίμου,

ADEIMANTOS: but both of them agree

and came to celebrate our victory lap,

with-in-lap-towering,

MEDEIS: thrice blessed( the )Danaans,

τρὶς μάκαρες Δαναοὶ

PINDAR: RECEIVE( the )Olympic-conqueror !

this merry-making( REVELRY )( carousal )

( procession )( parade )( ode )

by( aid )of the GRACES( Chariton ),

Οὐλυμπιονίκαν δέκευ

Χαρίτων ἕκατι τόνδε κῶμον,


MEDEIS: and( indeed )four times!

καὶ τετράκις,

ADEIMANTOS: and somehow somebody

he captures beauty

in that old reach for glory,

PINDAR: ( this )after the LONGEST time( long-

expected )( late? NEVER! )( most enduring )

( most in-the-end )( most coming-in-due-course )LIGHT

( o light! )( of )far-and-widely-reaching-POWERFUL EXCELLENCE.

χρονιώτατον φάος εὐρυσθενέων ἀρετᾶν.

ADEIMANTOS: and if we combine them,

SOKRATES: and if such as( he )

( we )come-into-being( are born,

produced, fall due, take-place, come-

to-pass )( you ),

ἂν οἷός τε γένωμαι,

ADEIMANTOS: we have to admit

somebodys ode

( makes me forget )

about my sorrows for a minute,

PINDAR: for( it )comes( attains-to )( reaches )( the )CHARIOT

( carriages )( shelters )( harbors )( vessels )

of PSAUMIS( victor in the MULE race ),

Ψαύμιος γὰρ ἵκει
[20]

ὀχέων,

ADEIMANTOS: both hold me familiar

as ( weve allowed to be traced )

some underwater lines,

MEDEIS: who perished( died )then in wide( broad )Troy,

οἳ τότ᾽ ὄλοντο

Τροίῃ

PINDAR: who, ( being )WREATHED( and crowned )

( to-by-for the )OLIVE tree( of )Pisa,

ὅς, ἐλαίᾳ στεφανωθεὶς Πισάτιδι,

ADEIMANTOS: reminders of those

with whom we used to wish

that we could coexist,

MEDEIS: bringing grace( favor, gratitude )( gratification )

( pleasure, delight )( satisfaction )( thanks )

( to-by-for )( the )sons of Atreus,

ἐν εὐρείῃ χάριν Ἀτρεΐδῃσι φέροντες.

ADEIMANTOS: ( and we try to remember )

what it feels like to be seen

and celebrated,

PINDAR: ( LET LOOSE! )( would )stir up

( to call-forth )GLORY( kudos! )

( renown )( to-by-for )Kamarina,

κῦδος ὄρσαι

σπεύδει Καμαρίνᾳ.

ADEIMANTOS: but at least hes not always going on

about hekatombs anymore,

SOKRATES: ( we )would( will )try

( attempt, endeavor, experience )

to go-through( pass-through, complete, spread-

abroad, shoot-through, pass-through-and-reach,

recount ),

πειράσομαι διελθεῖν.

ADEIMANTOS: does he realize ( there are people watching )

when he says these things? nobodys relationship

with himself ( we )is( being ) his deep flaw,

we see him

( when we want to skip to the end ),

MEDEIS: as( o dyad-god )( she was binding )( bind, you )

( god-needed-bound )( she was in-need )( need, you )

( the dyad-god )( indeed )must( be )

would( that )( we- )i( -being )at least( had )died

and( indeed )( had )( driven-to )met( my )destiny,

ὡς δὴ ἐγώ γ᾽ ὄφελον θανέειν καὶ πότμον ἐπισπεῖν

ADEIMANTOS: whereas somebody brings this feeling

of ( little fires lighting up along the way )

and then he makes them HUGE,

he speaks to stadia,

PINDAR: may( the )GOD be JOYFUL-HEARTED

( goodly-phrenes )( mirthful, merry, taking pleasure,

gracious, kind, kindly, benevolent )

( to-by-for )( their )remaining( future )( hence-

forward )( hereafter )( further )PRAYERS

( vows, wishes, aspirations );

θεὸς εὔφρων

εἴη λοιπαῖς εὐχαῖς:

ADEIMANTOS: and nobody lets us relive

our worst moments, he just offers himself

with some strangers generosity, like

MEDEIS: ( to-by-for )the day when( to-by-for )me

the greatest multitude of Trojans cast( their )brass-tipped spears

around( about )( the )slain( perished )( Achilles )son of Peleus,

ἤματι τῷ ὅτε μοι πλεῖστοι χαλκήρεα δοῦρα

(310) Τρῶες ἐπέρριψαν περὶ Πηλεΐωνι θανόντι.

ADEIMANTOS: as somebody champions thumos,

our horses shiver to hear him speak,

PINDAR: since( you are approaching- and following-

upon )( to-by-for )( the dyad-word-song )

( WE )PRAISE( tell of )( approve )( commend )

him-her( who is )EXTREMELY( DYAD-SECRETLY! )even( INDEED )

AT HAND( ready )( prepared )( at once

and without hesitation )( ready-active-zealous )

( bold )( brought to fulfilment )( eager )

( to-by-for the )EDUCATION( nourishment,

food, provisions, forage, livelihood, nurture,

rearing, generation and keeping )( of )HORSES,

ἐπεί νιν αἰνέω μάλα μὲν

τροφαῖς ἑτοῖμον ἵππων,

ADEIMANTOS: as nobody fantasizes his own death,

MEDEIS: ( to-by-for )it( we would have received

A LOT )of funeral gifts,

τῷ κ᾽ ἔλαχον κτερέων,

ADEIMANTOS: somebody reminds us of being our best,

PINDAR: and REJOICING( o rejoicing ones! )

( to-by-for )ALL-RECEIVING XENIA( guest-

friendships and stranger-hospitalities ),

χαίροντά τε ξενίαις πανδόκοις

ADEIMANTOS: as nobody fantasizes about fame,

as part of fantasizing about his death,

such as this, our problematic man,

MEDEIS: and( indeed )( we would have taken )

( the )Achaians( would have )brought me

glory( kleos - fame, rumor, report ),

καί μευ κλέος ἦγον Ἀχαιοί:

ADEIMANTOS: whereas somebody makes the city-

soul ache

with possibility,

PINDAR: and( indeed )toward CITY-LOVING PEACE

( rest, quiet, silence, stillness ),

SELF-TURNING( tetrammenon )( to-by-for )CLEAR

( pure, spotless, free )THOUGHT

( judgment, intelligence, knowing, understanding,

opinion, resolution, purpose, resolve ),

καὶ πρὸς ἁσυχίαν φιλόπολιν καθαρᾷ γνώμᾳ τετραμμένον.

ADEIMANTOS: the possibility of somebody

or something, being some city

worth dying for,

SOKRATES: this( even )( indeed )therefore( we )

( o ways, o powers of song! )suppose

( forebode, presage, expect,

suspect, intend, believe )( the )all( o all! )

will agree( same-saying )( he would agree )

( she would agree )( you will agree )

( to-by-for )we

( she-dyad-confession )( to-by-for confession-she ),

τόδε μὲν οὖν οἶμαι πᾶς ἡμῖν ὁμολογήσει,

ADEIMANTOS: ( silently ) we side with nobody

almost all the time, even

when what he says is plainly wrong,

MEDEIS: but now( it had been )fated( me )

( to be )seized( captured )( taken )( slain )

( to-by-for )( a )wretched( sorry )( pitiful )

( contemptuous )death,

νῦν δέ λευγαλέῳ θανάτῳ εἵμαρτο ἁλῶναι.

HOMER: so there-and-then( dyad-he )speaking it —

ὣς ἄρα μιν εἰπόντ᾽

PINDAR: ( WE )( would-will )NOT STAIN

( you are not stained )( wet, moisten, soften, dye )

( the )WORD( to-by-for )FALSEHOOD,

οὐ ψεύδεϊ τέγξω λόγον:
[30]

ADEIMANTOS: ( breathe ) we remind myself

as we realize what we witness,

HOMER: ( the )GREAT WAVE( billowing, swelling,

heaving, flood )( PREGNANCY-fetus-sprout )DROVE-

( propelled-thrusted-struck )-DOWN( against-

through )( from the )HIGHEST( topmost-extremity

)( a )TERRIBLE( dreadful, wondrous, awful,

clever )RUSHING-( hastening,

speeding )-against,

ἔλασεν μέγα κῦμα κατ᾽ ἄκρης

δεινὸν ἐπεσσύμενον,

ADEIMANTOS: somebody versus nobody

would ignite

to tame the tempest,

PINDAR: ( o )SHE-TRIAL( we drive-through )( the crucial

experiment )( trial )( proof )( perseverance )

( to-by-for )YOU( let me tell you )( would be )

( the )ELENCHOS( argument )( disproof,

refutation, cross-examination, testing,

scrutiny, trial, reproach, blame,

etc )( of )MORTAL MEN,

διάπειρά τοι βροτῶν ἔλεγχος:


ADEIMANTOS: what does nobody fight for,

his craft?

HOMER: but( it )WHIRLED( he raised the battle-cry )

( he raised a lament )( he cried loudly )AROUND

( about )( the SHE- )raft( hand-to-hand )

( in close combat ),

περὶ δὲ σχεδίην ἐλέλιξε.

ADEIMANTOS: and somebody for what,

the reinstatement of whats right?

PINDAR: ( the )SHE-DYAD( who )UNBOUND

( unfastened, unyoked, released, delivered,

resolved, destroyed, annulled )the CHILD

( Erginos? )of Klumenos from( the )DISHONOR

( disgrace )( derision )( deprivation

of civil rights )( of the )Lemnian women,

ἅπερ Κλυμένοιο παῖδα

Λαμνιάδων γυναικῶν
ἔλυσεν ἐξ ἀτιμίας.

ADEIMANTOS: so different, yet

we are burning with them both,

and ( soon we are wildfire ) listening

to their voices in myself resolving,

SOKRATES: such( a )nature( growth-origin,

outward-form, constitution-temperament,

character, originating-power, elementary-

substance, birth )and( indeed )

she-having-and-holding( he-)all as much

( she-dyad )as we enjoined( commanded,

prescribed, posted, appointed )just-now,

τοιαύτην φύσιν καὶ πάντα ἔχουσαν ὅσα προσετάξαμεν νυνδή,

ADEIMANTOS: ( and then the moment is over )

and nobody loses, but he does it to himself,

HOMER: but FAR-off from( the SHE- )raft

( close-quarters )( hand-to-hand combat )( spur

of the moment )( he- )HIMSELF hurled

( let fall, self-threw )( lost the erect position )

( fell in battle )( SUNK ),

(315) τῆλε δ᾽ ἀπὸ σχεδίης αὐτὸς πέσε,

ADEIMANTOS: whereas theres something

strong-humble, humbling, common-strong,

about somebody, a peoples man,

PINDAR: but CONQUERING( winning )

( the )race( COURSE )( of victories )

in bronze( copper coins )armor,

χαλκέοισι δ᾽ ἐν ἔντεσι νικῶν δρόμον


ADEIMANTOS: then again,

what wouldnt nobody sacrifice

of his own self?

HOMER: but( it )sent-forth( threw-hurled-launched-

let-fly )( let fall a word )( uttered in speech )

( let go )( surrendered )( the )rudder out( from his )hands,

πηδάλιον δὲ

ἐκ χειρῶν προέηκε:

ADEIMANTOS: and indeed,

PINDAR: ( he )said( to-by-for )Hupsipule( high-and-lofty passage ),

ἔειπεν Ὑψιπυλείᾳ

ADEIMANTOS: high versus middle?

HOMER: but( the )MIDDLE( to-by-for)itself

( of the )MAST — broke( shivered )

( the SHE- )terrible( fearsome, marvelous,

clever, wondrous )( of )mixing winds

( she )coming( -and-going )HURRICANE,

μέσον δέ οἱ ἱστὸν ἔαξεν

δεινὴ μισγομένων ἀνέμων ἐλθοῦσα θύελλα,

ADEIMANTOS: o high versus middle

versus the HURRICANE they create,

PINDAR: after going( and coming )

( to the )GARLAND( crown )( wreath ),

μετὰ στέφανον ἰών:

ADEIMANTOS: the one they live for,

HOMER: but FAR-OFF( we were SOWING )

( they were sowing )( sow, you )( o sowing )

( sowing )( the sowing )( the )sail( clothing )

( wraps )( shroud )and( indeed )( the )yard-arm

( were )flung-into( FALL, you )( ENTER into )

( come upon )( STRIKE )( the )SEA,

τηλοῦ δὲ σπεῖρον καὶ ἐπίκριον ἔμπεσε πόντῳ.

ADEIMANTOS: if ( a sense of security )

maybe ( we tell myself ) would

call nobody home,

SOKRATES: if finally( having reached its end,

finished, complete, perfect, full-grown,

accomplished thoroughly, and )about to become

( be born, come-into-being )

philosophos( wisdom-love ),

εἰ τελέως (491β) μέλλοι φιλόσοφος γενέσθαι,

ADEIMANTOS: ( until next time ) something

nobody-like slips out,

HOMER: but there-and-then UNDERWATER( she )put him,

( for a )LONGGG time,

τὸν δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ὑπόβρυχα θῆκε πολὺν χρόνον,

ADEIMANTOS: she-being a strong

container for nobodys ways,

HUPSIPULE: this( WE )i( BEING )( to-by-for )SWIFTNESS( quickness )( speed ),

‘ οὗτος ἐγὼ ταχυτᾶτι:


ADEIMANTOS: but neither is nobody spotless

nor is the poet altogether so,

it may be ( by something small )

but it irks me how they blame her,

she-being Kalupso,

HOMER: nor( was he )able very( dyad-underwater-

secretly )quickly( to )hold-up( lift-up, surface )

( from )under( the )great wave( swelling-

billowing-surge )( pregnancy )( of )( the SHE- )ATTACK;

for( the )clothes there-and-then( were )OPPRESSING

( and depressing )( him ),

the( SHE-DYAD )( to-by-for )itself( o passage!

o resource! )( she )GAVE( give, you! )

through( we would-will HIDE and CONCEAL )

( you hide and cover )Kalupso,

οὐδ᾽ ἐδυνάσθη

(320) αἶψα μάλ᾽ ἀνσχεθέειν μεγάλου ὑπὸ κύματος ὁρμῆς:

εἵματα γάρ ῥ᾽ ἐβάρυνε, τά οἱ πόρε δῖα Καλυψώ.

ADEIMANTOS: but even nobody

with his actions says ( fuck the end goal ),

HOMER: but after a longgg time( LATE? )( NEVER )

( o dyad-god )( she was binding )( bind, you )( god-needed-

bound )( she was in-need )( need, you )

( the dyad-god )( indeed )must( be )

there-and-then( he )came up,

ὀψὲ δὲ δή ῥ᾽ ἀνέδυ,

ADEIMANTOS: but when she delivers his medicine,

HUPSIPULE: but HANDS and( indeed )HEART( being )EQUAL( evenly )( alike ),

χεῖρες δὲ καὶ ἦτορ ἴσον.

ADEIMANTOS: he spits it out,

and again the poet takes his side,

( shewaters a lil preachy for them? )

HOMER: but( from her )mouth( she )SPIT-OUT

( the )( SHE- )bitter( sharp, keen, piercing, acute,

pungent, mean! )( SHE- )sea-water( BRINE ),

( she )which( to-by-for )itself( she- )much

from( the she- )head( was )gushing( gurgling,

murmuring, babbling, trickling, flowing fitfully, or in drops . . . )

στόματος δ᾽ ἐξέπτυσεν ἅλμην

πικρήν, ἥ οἱ πολλὴ ἀπὸ κρατὸς κελάρυζεν.

ADEIMANTOS: to walk the slight edge

between nobody, and somebody,

( we-being HUPSIPULE ) and the poet too,

showing-through the best of each,

SOKRATES: rarely( oligakis-slightly )born

among human beings

( to grow, wax, spring-up, spring-forth,

begotten, produced ),

and(indeed)oligas(very-slight-few),

ὀλιγάκις ἐν ἀνθρώποις φύεσθαι καὶ ὀλίγας.

HUPSIPULE: but( it )GROWS,

[40] φύονται δὲ

ADEIMANTOS: but she has nature

and he has his memory ( of her ),

HOMER: but still not even like( he was )forgetting

( the she- )raft( hand-to-hand )( close combat ),

roundly wearing-out( distressed, afflicted, exhausted,

born-hard-upon, reduced to extremity,

being-rubbed-hard, with troubles ),

ἀλλ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ὣς σχεδίης ἐπελήθετο, τειρόμενός περ,

ADEIMANTOS: and having been accustomed

to going and coming between them,

as butterfly men, even just for fun,

even with our ( eyes closed ),

HUPSIPULE: and( indeed )( you would swim )

( you would spin )( you would pile up )

( in heaps )( and for next year ),

SHE-GRAYNESS( gray-grizzled-grizlies )

( of hair )OFTEN( grows )in YOUNG MEN,

καὶ νέοις ἐν ἀνδράσιν


πολιαὶ θαμὰ

ADEIMANTOS: and doesnt he have a habit

of providing commentary

( often in the form of a question )

( we werent going to ask for ) ?

to which we reply ( enjoy the journey ),

SOKRATES: ( either )or( else-otherwise )( eh! )( do )nt( you )suppose?

ἢ οὐκ οἴει;

ADEIMANTOS: and even in her ( fighting sleep )

( like neither nobody nor somebody )

she-being constant revolutionary,

HUPSIPULE: and( indeed )beside( towards )( contrary

to )( against )( beyond )that

( of the )AGE( time of life )( generation )( prime ),

καὶ παρὰ τὸν ἁλικίας

ADEIMANTOS: but ( given ) that nobody

makes an excellent lover for her,

HOMER: but still rushing-in-pursuit( making a dash )

( passively )in-through( the )waves( billowing-

swelling-pregnancies )( he )received( took hold )( of )herself,

(325) ἀλλὰ μεθορμηθεὶς ἐνὶ κύμασιν ἐλλάβετ᾽ αὐτῆς,

ADEIMANTOS: but when it comes to problems

where we might say ( a good sleep wont fix this )

( anything other than a tempest tantrum ),

his response seems pretty strong,

HOMER: but in( her )middle( he )sat( and huddled- )down,

ἐν μέσσῃ δὲ καθῖζε

HUPSIPULE: ( contrary to what at )( the )TIME seeming-likely,

ἐοικότα χρόνον.’

ADEIMANTOS: nobody survives,

HOMER: avoiding deaths end,

τέλος θανάτου ἀλεείνων.

ADEIMANTOS: yet hes also like a baby,

who always wants back into the storm,

who just likes getting spun around.

nobody may not be a place to live,

but its his energy that drives us on,

when were on the move.
