Glaucon remained in the tent, translating and hearing all the details: how Hydarnes was to press the attack from the rear at early dawn, how Mardonius was to conduct another onset from the front. At last the general of the guard knelt before the king for the last time. “Thus I go forth, Omnipotence, and to-morrow, behold your will upon your enemies, or behold me never more.”
See that he does not do Glaucon a mischief, or transgress the rules.” “I can, till they come to the wrestling.” “In that the god must aid the Athenian. But now let us have the foot-race.” In the little respite following the trainers entered and rubbed down the three remaining contestants with oil until their bodies shone again like tinted ivory.
In a moment they crossed a bridge over a river and stopped before a low, wide building. Glaucon helped Charmides off his horse. Menon spoke a few words to the porter at the gate. The man opened the door and led the visitors in. Charmides limped along beside his father, for he was lame. That was what had made him sigh when he had seen Victory hovering over Olympia.
So far am I from agreeing with Thrasymachus that justice is the interest of the stronger. This latter question need not be further discussed at present; but when Thrasymachus says that the life of the unjust is more advantageous than that of the just, his new statement appears to me to be of a far more serious character. Which of us has spoken truly? And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer?
AND so, Glaucon, we have arrived at the conclusion that in the perfect State wives and children are to be in common; and that all education and the pursuits of war and peace are also to be common, and the best philosophers and the bravest warriors are to be their kings? That, replied Glaucon, has been acknowledged.
The people in the pinnace rowed desperately to keep her out of the deadly trough of the billows, but Glaucon stood erect on the drifting wreck and his voice rang through the tumult of the sea. “Tell them in Athens, and tell Hermione my wife, that Glaucon the Alcmæonid went down into the deep declaring his innocence and denouncing the vengeance of Athena on whosoever foully destroyed him!—”
“Swift, godlike runner, swift;”—they were so close they could catch the Eastern accent—“the Most High give you His wings!” Glaucon saw Lycon turn on the shouter with a scowl that was answered by a composed smile. To the highly strung imagination of the Athenian the wish became an omen of good.
I turned round, and asked him where his master was. There he is, said the youth, coming after you, if you will only wait. Certainly we will, said Glaucon; and in a few minutes Polemarchus appeared, and with him Adeimantus, Glaucon's brother, Niceratus the son of Nicias, and several others who had been at the procession.
Then Glaucon in turn asked questions. “Where is my wife?” “In the town of Salamis, with her father; do you know she has borne—” “A son. Are both well?” “Well. The child is fair as the son of Leto.” They could see the light flash out of the eyes of the outlaw. He turned toward the statue and stretched out his hand.
He dismounted with a bound, and as he did so the friends saw that his face was red as with pent-up excitement. Themistocles advanced hastily. “What’s this? Your hands seem a-quiver. Whom has that constable tied up behind him?” “Seuthes!” cried Glaucon, bounding back, “Seuthes, by every god, and pinioned like a felon.”
