3. nicrrei?, 971-1028 : 



a. 971-982. I do not believe that Hera and Pallas are so 

 foolish as to subject Argos and Athens to Phrygia. Their 

 rivalry in regard to beauty was mere sport, and you cannot 

 make that an argument in your defence. 



/3. 983-997. You maintain that Kypris assisted my son, 

 but it was your own passion. All folly is attributed to 

 'AcppoSiTT] by mortals, and rightly does the name of the god- 

 dess begin the word a^poavvrjP- Barbarian gold and splendor 

 led you astray. 



7. 998-1009. Again you say my son took you by force. 

 Who heard your cries as you were carried away .-' When 

 you came to Troy your affections changed as the fortunes 

 of battle wavered between the two armies. 



h. 1010-1028. You declare that you tried to escape from 

 Troy, but could not. On the contrary, I often urged you to 

 leave the city, but this did not please you, for you preferred 

 to be worshiped by barbarians.^
