The Acharnians, country-people of Attica, who have greatly suffered from the enemy, are highly enraged at Dikaiopolis for concluding a peace with the Lacedaemonians, and determine to stone him. He undertakes to speak in defence of the Lacedaemonians, standing the while behind a block, as he is to lose his head if he does not succeed in convincing them.
Dikaiopolis, the honest citizen, enraged at the base artifices by which the people are deluded, and by which they are induced to reject all proposals for peace, sends an embassy to Lacedaemon, and concludes a separate treaty for himself and his family.
EURIPIDES. What rags will suit you? Those in which old Oeneus, That hapless wight, went through his bitter conflict? DIKAIOPOLIS. Not Oeneus, no, but one still sorrier. EURIPIDES. Those of blind Phoenix? DIKAIOPOLIS. No, not Phoenix either; But another, more wretched still than Phoenix EURIPIDES. Whose sorry tatters can the fellow want? 'Tis Philoctetes' sure! You mean that beggar.
