Lo many a time, in faceof both of you, I have spoken thus, I that am not a man of manywords, saying, --"Not thus, dear friends, does it become heroes to wootheir wives, wives that already have bridegrooms betrothed. LoSparta is wide, and wide is Elis, a land of chariots and horses, andArcadia rich in sheep, and there are the citadels of the Achaea...ns, and Messenia, and Argos, and all the sea-coast of Sisyphus.
