I intend to measure out the air for you—dividing it in surveyed lots.
γεωμετρῆσαι βούλομαι τὸν ἀέρα
ὑμῖν διελεῖν τε κατὰ γύας.
ὑμῖν διελεῖν τε κατὰ γύας.
Original text (Ancient Greek)
More quotes by Aristophanes
To be afraid of death is idle folly,
For 'tis a debt that all of us must pay.
Variant:You won't persuade [peiseis] me even if you convince [peisēs] me.
