Zeus

Now, Asclepius and Heracles, stop that quarrelling; you might as well be men; such behaviour is very improper and out of place at the table of the Gods.

Heracles

Is this druggist fellow to have a place above me, Zeus?

Asclepius

Of course I am; I am your better.

Heracles

Why, you numskull? because it was Zeuss bolt that

v.1.p.72
cracked your skull, for your unholy doings, and now you have been allowed your immortality again out of sheer pity?

Asclepius

You twit me with my fiery end; you seem to have forgotten that you too were burnt to death, on Oeta.

Heracles

Was there no difference between your life and mine, then? I am Zeuss son, and it is well known how I toiled, cleansing the earth, conquering monsters, and chastising men of violence. Whereas you are a root-grubber and a quack; I dare say you have your use for doctoring sick men, but you never did a bold deed in your life.
