Twelve of the best, with Phemius the bard,

Medon, and many followers: ’gainst all these

We are but two.

Ul.I fear them not, my son.

Tel. Seek other aid, I pray, ere ’gainst so many

We venture.

Ul.What, son, sayst thou, if Athena

And father Zeus aid us? will they, thou thinkest,

Suffice, or must we cast about to find

Some other champion?
