HERMES

Its better that you should be light like that; get in then. You too, Craton, off with your wealth and your effeminacy too, and your luxury, and dont bring your funeral trappings or your ancestors reputations, but leave behind family, fame, all public proclamations in your honour, and the inscriptions on your statues, and say nothing of the mighty tomb they raised over your body. Even the mention of such things weighs down the boat.

CRATON

I dont like it, but away they go. What choice have I?
