56452 - The Persian slippers
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias
Lysistrata: Did you put on your Persian slippers?
Kaloniki: It is so we can show to the rest of us what we are about to do to those who want to invade.
Lysistrata: Say that again!
Kaloniki: We drove the Persians away, no one came through!
Lysistrata: Yes right.. But. .
Kaloniki: They will not enter as well!
Lysistrata: So just say my girl, I did not understand where you were coming from…
Kaloniki: If you coold see to where I towed his trireme!
Lysistrata: What did you do again?
Kaloniki: I showed the others how to say: My body!
Lysistrata: And did they do it?
Kaloniki: Did they? Did they do it ! They kicked the hell out of him!
Lysistrata: Good on you!
Kaloniki: Bare in mind is only a matter of a few hours!
Lysistrata: May that go straight to Zeus’s ear.
Kaloniki: He knows about such things!
Lysistrata: And where did they do it to him?
Kaloniki: At the Acropolis of course! And in the sound of music. They counted every libation and every dactyl.
Lysistrata: You did not leave them sitting in the halfpenny place.
