Lycinus

If you think it is the dinner I care about, reflect upon the story of Oeneus; you will observe that, when he omitted Artemis alone from the Gods to whom he offered sacrifice, she resented it. Homers account of it states that he

Forgot or neer bethought bimwoeful blindness!
Euripidess begins,
This land of Calydon, across the gulf
From Pelops land, with all its fertile plains—;
and Sophocless,
Upon the tilth of Oeneus Letos child,
Far-darting Goddess, loosed a monstrous boar.

Lycinus

I quote you but these few of the many passages upon the incident, just to suggest the qualities of him whom you have passed over, to entertain, and to have your son taught by, Dipbilus! natural

enough; of course, the lad fancies him, and finds him an agreeable master! If tale-telling were not beneath me, I would add a piece of information that, if you choose, you can get confirmed by the boys attendant Zopyrus. But a wedding is not a time for unpleasantness or denunciations, especially of offences so vile. Diphilus deserves it richly at my hands, indeedtwo pupils he has stolen from me—; but for the good name of Philosophy I will bold my band.

Lycinus

My man bas instructions, if you should offer him a portion of wild boar or venison or sesame cake to bring me in lieu of my dinner, to refuse it. I would not have you find the motive of my letter in such desires.
