Represent Peitho, my Queen! the goddess herself might be proud of such a representative." "And if she were so indeed," cried Cleopatra, "how happy am I to hear such words from the lips of Aristarchus. It is settled I play Peitho. My companion Zoe may take the part of Artemis, and her grave sister that of Pallas Athene.
Add to this that it is the first proof I have asked of his magnanimity, and clothe it all in such winning words as Peitho can lay upon your eloquent lips. If he grants pardon to these unfortunate ones, it shall be a sign to me that I may be permitted to shield others from his wrath.
Indeed the figure of Peitho would become you admirably." "I think I will represent Peitho," said the queen interrupting the Corinthian. "Hebe is but a bud, an unopened blossom, while I am a mother, and I flatter myself I am something of a philosopher "
The faith which St. Paul defined, pistis in Greek, is better translated as trust, confidence. The word pistis is derived from the verb peithô, which in its active voice means to persuade and in its middle voice to trust in someone, to esteem him as worthy of trust, to place confidence in him, to obey. And fidare se, to trust, is derived from the root fid whence fides, faith, and also confidence.
Hebe is exquisite, and you, O Queen! must represent her!" "I!" exclaimed Cleopatra. "But you said her eyes were cast down." "That is from modesty and timidity, and her gait must also be bashful and maidenly.

"Certainly and you will give nothing to yonder brawler." "On the contrary. I feel very generous. If Peitho will aid me, the insatiate fellow will get more than may be agreeable to him." Then grasping the architect's hand, Dion forced his way through the throng surrounding the high platform on wheels, upon which the closely covered piece of sculpture had been rolled up.
If he remained near her he would inevitably do what he might afterwards regret, and therefore he would fain have offered a sacrifice to Peitho to induce her to enhance Archibius's powers of persuasion and induce Barine to leave Alexandria. It would be hard for him to part from her, yet much would be gained if she went into the country.
Indeed the figure of Peitho would become you admirably." "I think I will represent Peitho," said the queen interrupting the Corinthian. "Hebe is but a bud, an unopened blossom, while I am a mother, and I flatter myself I am something of a philosopher "
Peitho, the goddess of persuasion, lays her hand on the bride's arm, imperceptibly urging her forward and turning away her face; for what she had to say has been said, and she smiles to herself, for Hebe has not turned a deaf ear to her voice, and he who has once listened to Peitho must do what she desires." "And Hebe?" asked Cleopatra.
