Excerpt from Chips From a German Workshop, Vol. 2
Ph?dros. Dost thou see that very tall plane-tree?
Sokrates. Certainly I do.
Ph?dros. There is shade there, and the wind is not too strong, and there is grass to sit, or, if we like, to lie down.
Sokrates. Lead on then!
Ph?dros. Tell me, Sokrates, - is it not from some place here they say that Boreas carried away Oreithyia from the Ilissos?
Sokrates. So they say.
Ph?dros. Should it not be from this spot? for the waters seem so lovely, and pure, and transparent, and as if made for girls to play on the bank.
Sokrates. No; it is two or three stadia further down, where you cross over to the Temple of Agra, - and there you find, somewhere, an altar of Boreas.
Ph?dros. I was not aware of this. But tell me, by Zeus, O Sokrates, - doest thou believe this my the to be true?
