XXVII THE GAME OF DICE
Mitchell S. (Mitchell Starrett) Buck translation
AS we both loved him, we played with the dice. It was a great moment. Many of the young girls looked on.
She threw at first the cast of Kyklopes and I the cast of Solon. But she the Kallibolos and I, feeling that I lost, I prayed to the goddess.
I played, I had the Epiphenon, she the terrible cast of Kios, I the Antiteukos, she the Trikias, and I the cast of Aphrodite which won the disputed lover.
But, seeing her pale, I threw my arm about her neck and said, close to her ear (so that she alone heard me): “Do not weep, little friend, we will let him choose between us.”
