Menippus

What do you mean? I must go to Lebadea, swaddle myself up in absurd linen, take a cake in my hand, and crawl through a narrow passage into a cave, before I could tell that you are a dead man, with nothing but knavery to differentiate

v.1.p.111
you from the rest of us? Now, on your seer-ship, what is a Hero? I am sure I dont know.

Trophonius

He is half God, and half man,

Menippus

So what is neither man (as you imply) nor God, is both at once? Well, at present what has become of your diviner half?

Trophonius

He gives oracles in Boeotia.

Menippus

What you may mean is quite beyond me; the one thing I know for certain is that you are deadthe whole of you.
