MENIPPUS

But not, methinks, the handsomest that has come to the lower world; your bones are no different here, and your skull can only be told from that of Thersites, by its brittleness. Your skull is fragile and unmanly.

NIREUS

But just ask Homer what I was like when I was fighting in the Greek army.

MENIPPUS

You talk of dreams; I of what I see, and of your present state; your past is only known to the men of that time.

NIREUS

Then, Menippus, Im not handsomer here than he is?

v.7.p.175
MENIPPUS

Neither you nor anyone else is handsome here. In Hades all are equal, and all alike.

THERSITES

Thats good enough for me.
