—AESOP WE SLEPT FOR A long time. I awoke in a fury. Why should I save my brothers when they couldn’t save themselves? They had squandered not only their patrimony but mine. They had injured me as much as they had injured themselves. Let them rot in Naucratis! They deserved it!
I told Aesop how I felt. He understood.
“But would you be in Naucratis if it weren’t your destiny to save your brothers? Poseidon flung you up on the Nile Delta for some reason.
“First they marry me off to an old sot. Then... they gamble away my grandfather’s wealth—and mine. Why should I help them?”
“Only to help yourself,” said Aesop. “Anger will not suit your purpose here, but tranquillity will. Teach your brothers a valuable lesson. Later they may be a credit to you.”
