| 86. I abhor acting on advice, son of Laertes , which causes pain in the hearing. It is not in my nature to achieve anything by means of evil cunning, nor was it, as I hear, in my father’s. 90. But I am ready to take the man by force and without treachery, since with the use of one foot only, he will not overcome so many of us in a struggle. And yet I was sent to assist you and am reluctant to be called traitor. Still I prefer, my king, 95. to fail when doing what is honorable than to be victorious in a dishonorable manner. Odysseu 96. Son of a father so noble, I, too, in my youth once had a slow tongue and an active hand. But now that I have come forth to the test, I see that the tongue, not action, is what masters everything among men. Neoptolemu 100. What, then, are your orders—apart from my lying? Odysseu'101. I command you to take Philoctetes by deceit. Neoptolemu 102. And why by deceit rather than by persuasion? Odysseu 103. He will never listen; and by force you cannot take him. Neoptolemu 104. Has he strength so terrific to make him bold? Odysseu 105. Yes, shafts inevitable, escorts of death. Neoptolemu 106. Then one does not dare even approach him? Odysseu 107. No, unless he takes the man by deceit, as I prescribe. Neoptolemu 108. Then you think it brings no shame to speak what is false? Odysseu 109. No, not if the falsehood yields deliverance. Neoptolemu 110. And with what expression on his face will anyone dare mouth those lies? Odysseu 111. When what you do promises gain, it is wrong to shrink back. Neoptolemu 112. And what gain is it for me that he should come to Troy ? Odysseu 113. His arrows alone will capture Troy . Neoptolemu 114. Then I am not to be the conqueror, as you said? Odysseu 115. Neither will you be without them, nor they without you. Neoptolemu 116. It would seem, then, that we must track them down, if things stand as you say. Odysseu 117. Know that by doing this task, you win two rewards. Neoptolemu 118. What are they? If I knew, I would not refuse the deed. Odysseu 119. You will be celebrated in the same breath as clever and as noble. Neoptolemu 120. So be it! I will do it, and cast off all shame. Odysseu 121. Do you remember, then, the story that I recommended? Neoptolemu 122. Be sure of it, since once and for all I have consented. Odysseu 123. You stay here, then, to wait for him. Meanwhile I will go away, so as not to be observed here with you, 125. and I will send our lookout back to your ship. And, if in my view you seem to linger at all beyond the due time, I will send that same man back again, after disguising him as the captain of a merchant-ship, so that secrecy may be on our side. 130. Then, son, as he tells his artful story, take whatever in his tale is from time to time helpful to you. Now I will go to the ship, leaving matters here to you. May escorting Hermes the Deceiver, lead us on, and divine Victory, Athena Polias, who saves me always! Exit Odysseus, on the spectators’ left. Choru '. None |
