Menippus

But not comeliest of all that come neath the earth, as far as I know. Your bones are much like other peoples; and the only difference between your two skulls is that yours would not take much to stove it in. It is a tender article, something short of masculine,

Nireus

Ask Homer what I was, when I sailed with the Achaeans.

Menippus

Dreams, dreams, I am looking at what you are; what you were is ancient history.

Nireus

Am I not handsomer here, Menippus?

Menippus

You are not handsome at all, nor any one else either. Hades is a democracy; one man is as good as another here.

Thersites

And a very tolerable arrangement too, if you ask me.
