Αἰακός
τί ἄγχεις, ὦ Πρωτεσίλαε, τὴν Ἑλένην προσπεσών;
[p. 171]
Πρωτεσίλεως
ὅτι διὰ ταύτην, ὦ Αἰακέ, ἀπέθανον ἡμιτελῆ
μὲν τὸν δόμον καταλιπών, χήραν τε τὴν νεόγαμον γυναῖκα.
Αἰακός
αἰτιῶ τοίνυν τὸν Μενέλαον, ὅστις ὑμᾶς ὑπὲρ
τοιαύτης γυναικὸς ἐπὶ Τροίαν ἤγαγεν.
Πρωτεσίλεως
εὖ λέγεις: ἐκεῖνόν μοι αἰτιατέον.
Μενέλαος
οὐκ ἐμέ, ὦ βέλτιστε, ἀλλὰ δικαιότερον τὸν
Πάριν, ὃς ἐμοῦ τοῦ ξένου τὴν γυναῖκα παρὰ πάντα τα
δίκαια ᾤχετο ἁρπάσας: οὗτος γὰρ οὐχ ὑπὸ σοῦ μόνου,
ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὸ πάντων Ἑλλήνων τε καὶ βαρβάρων ἄξιος ἄγχεσθαι
τοσούτοις θανάτου αἴτιος γεγενημένος.
Πρωτεσίλεως
ἄμεινον οὕτω: σὲ τοιγαροῦν, ὦ Δύσπαρι,
οὐκ ἀφήσω ποτὲ ἀπὸ τῶν χειρῶν.
Πάρις
ἄδικα ποιῶν, ὦ Πρωτεσίλαε, καὶ ταῦτα ὁμότεχνον
ὄντα σοι: ἐρωτικὸς γὰρ καὶ αὐτός εἰμι καὶ τῷ αὐτῷ
θεῷ κατέσχημαι: οἶσθα δὲ ὡς ἀκούσιόν τί ἐστι καί
τις ἡμᾶς δαίμων ἄγει ἔνθα ἂν ἐθέλῃ, καὶ ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν
ἀντιτάττεσθαι αὐτῷ.
Πρωτεσίλεως
