HERMES 
Let us make straight for Phrygia; I will lead the
way, and you follow me without delaying. Be of
good courage; I know Paris. He is young and
handsome and in every way susceptible to love; just
the sort to decide such questions. He would not
judge amiss, not he.
 APHRODITE 
What you say is all to the good and in my favour,
that our judge is just. Is he unmarried, or does
some woman live with him?
 HERMES 
Not quite unmarried, Aphrodite.
 APHRODITE 
What do you mean by that?
 HERMES 
Apparently someone is living with him, a woman
from Mount Ida, well enough, but countrified and
terribly unsophisticated; however, he does not seem .
to think much of her. The reference is to Oenone. But why do you ask?


 

 APHRODITE 
It was just a casual question.
