After exchanging greetings which showed that they had already met that day, for they had been celebrating the deliverance from Persia at the Salamis festival, the company sat down on the long semicircular marble seat, called the Hemicyklion.
And then as friends you, she, and he who is gone before to prepare a dwelling for the hearts which are separated by the narrow laws of life." Pericles and Socrates wandered in the avenue of plane-trees below the Hemicyklion, and conversed together. "Phidias has been acquitted of theft, but re-arrested on the charge of blaspheming the gods of the State." "Arrested? Phidias!"
Go, Nicias, and say, 'Pericles is dying. And ask them to choose the worthiest as his successor! Not the most unworthy! Go, Nicias, but go quickly." "I go," said Nicias, "but for a physician." And he went. "No physician can cure me!" answered Pericles; but in a weak voice, as though he spoke to himself. He took his old seat in the Hemicyklion.
The shadow rose and climbed up the Acropolis, on which the shield of Pallas still gleamed as the aegis of the city. Before the vari-coloured colonnade stood a group of men who had assembled before the semi-circular marble seat called the Hemicyklion; they appeared to be awaiting someone's arrival before they sat down.
The Scythian police who kept order in the Pnyx could procure him no audience. And when Nicias saw that he could not prevent the enterprise, he placed his services at Alcibiades' disposal, and began to equip the fleet. Aspasia was now the widow of Pericles, and had mourned him for a long time. The "Hemicyklion" was no more, but her few remaining friends visited her from time to time.
"Welcome, wanderer, whichever way you have come! Sit down you must be tired in my hemicyklion, under the olives I planted myself, while the spits turn, and they ply the chopping-knife. Here you see my plot of land which represents the world to me." Their first greetings and questions were over, and the two friends sat down to the table.
