Hera

Really this is very dreadful, and you were not so far wrong, Zeus, in addressing us in tragic vein.

Zeus

And yet you thought it was some Danae or Antiope that I was thinking about in such distress. Well, Hermes and Hera and Athene, what would be best? Take your turns in helping me to discover.

Hermes

I for my part say that an assembly ought to be called for open discussion.

Hera

I think precisely as he does.

Athene

But it strikes me just the other way, father. I do not think you ought to involve all heaven in your embarrassment, or show your own alarm at the affair; but make your arrangements privately so that Timokles may triumph and Damis be laughed out of court.

Hermes

But, Zeus, this course will not be unperceived, for the philosophers will hold their

tournament in public, and you will be accused of Caesarism if you do not let all have a voice in matters so weighty and common to all.
