What did you do that was unworthy of you?NeoptolemusI captured a man by disgraceful deceits and treachery.OdysseusWhat man? Oh! Can you be planning something rash?NeoptolemusRash, no. But to Poeas’ son—OdysseusWhat are you going to do? Suddenly a certain fear comes over me.Neoptolemus—From whom I took this bow, back to him—OdysseusZeus! What will you say? Certainly you do not intend to give it back?NeoptolemusYes, I do, because disgracefully and unjustly I got hold of it.OdysseusIn the name of the gods, are you saying this to mock me?NeoptolemusIf it is mockery to speak the truth.OdysseusWhat do you mean, Neoptolemus? What are you saying?NeoptolemusMust I repeat the same words twice and three times?OdysseusI would not have wished to hear them even once.NeoptolemusKnow for certain that I have nothing more to say.OdysseusThere is someone, I tell you, who will prevent your deed.NeoptolemusWhat do you mean? Who will oppose me in this?OdysseusThe whole host of the Achaeans, and I for one.NeoptolemusWise though you were born, your threats are void of wisdom.OdysseusAnd your words are not wise, nor is that which you want to do.NeoptolemusAnd yet if they are just, they are better than wise.
