NIREUS

Look, here’s Menippus, who will decide which of us is more handsome. Tell us, Menippus, don’t you think I am?

MENIPPUS

Whoever are you both? I ought to know that first, I suppose.

NIREUS

NIreus and Thersites.

MENIPPUS

Well, which is NIreus, and which Thersites? That’s still not clear.

v.7.p.173
THERSITES

That’s already one point in my favour, if I’m like you, and you don’t have the great superiority for which Homer the blind praised you, when he called you the most handsome of them all; I, with my sugarloaf head, and thin hair, [*] seemed just as good-looking as you to Minos; but you, Menippus, take a good look to see which you think more handsome.

IREUS

Me, son of Charops and Aglaea, “handsomest man of all who came to Troy”. [*]
