APHRODITE Very well, Paris. I shall undress first, so that you may discover that I am not just “white-armed”

v.3.p.399

and vain of “ox-eyes,” but that I am equally and uniformly beautiful all over.[*] ATHENA Do not let her undress, Paris, until she puts aside her girdle, for she is an enchantress; otherwise she may bewitch you with it.[*] And indeed she ought not to appear before you made up to that extent and bedaubed with all those colours, as if she were a courtesan in earnest: she ought to show her beauty unadorned.

PARIS They are right about the girdle, so lay it aside.

APHRODITE Then why do not you take off your helmet, Athena, and show your head bare, instead of tossing your plumes at the judge and frightening him? Are you afraid that you may be criticized for the green glare of your eyes if it is seen without trappings that inspire terror?[*] ATHENA There is the helmet for.you: I have taken it off.

APHRODITE There is the girdle for you.

v.3.p.401

HERA Come, let us undress.
