1. ENIPEUS: I won’t mince words, Poseidon. Your behaviour’s been disgraceful—tricking my sweetheart by impersonating me, and leading the child astray. She thought I was doing it and submitted.
1. ΕΝΙΠΕΥΣ: Οὐ καλὰ ταῦτα, ὦ Πόσειδον· εἰρήσεται γὰρ τἀληθές· ὑπελθών μου τὴν ἐρωμένην εἰκασθεὶς ἐμοὶ διεκόρησας τὴν παῖδα· ἡ δὲ ᾤετο ὑπ' ἐμοῦ αὐτὸ πεπονθέναι καὶ διὰ τοῦτο παρεῖχεν ἑαυτήν.
POSEIDON: You were so proud and so slow, Enipeus. A pretty girl like that came to you every day, dying of love, and you wouldn’t look at her, but enjoyed tormenting her! She would wander about your banks, putting her feet in and washing sometimes, praying for your love, but you always turned up your nose at her.
ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝ: Σὺ γάρ, ὦ Ἐνιπεῦ, ὑπεροπτικὸς ἦσθα καὶ βραδύς, ὃς κόρης οὕτω καλῆς φοιτώσης ὁσημέραι παρὰ σέ, ἀπολλυμένης ὑπὸ τοῦ ἔρωτος, ὑπερεώρας καὶ ἔχαιρες λυπῶν αὐτήν, ἡ δὲ περὶ τὰς ὄχθας ἁλύουσα καὶ ἐπεμβαίνουσα καὶ λουομένη ἐνίοτε ηὔχετό σοι ἐντυχεῖν, σὺ δὲ ἐθρύπτου πρὸς αὐτήν.
2. ENIPEUS: Even if I did, what right had you to forestall me and steal her love, pretending to be Enipeus rather than Poseidon, and winning a simple girl like Tyro by a trick?
2. ΕΝΙΠΕΥΣ: Τί οὖν; διὰ τοῦτο ἐχρῆν σε προαρπάσαι τὸν ἔρωτα καὶ καθυποκρίνασθαι Ἐνιπέα ἀντὶ Ποσειδῶνος εἶναι καὶ κατασοφίσασθαι τὴν Τυρὼ ἀφελῆ κόρην οὖσαν;
POSEIDON: It’s too late to be jealous now, Enipeus. You despised her before. Tyro’s suffered no harm. She thought it was you.
ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝ: Ὀψὲ ζηλοτυπεῖς, ὦ Ἐνιπεῦ, ὑπερόπτης πρότερον ὤν· ἡ Τυρὼ δὲ οὐδὲν δεινὸν πέπονθεν οἰομένη ὑπὸ σοῦ διακεκορῆσθαι.
ENIPEUS: Oh, no! When you left her, you said you were Poseidon, and that upset her very much. It was unfair to me, too, for you to enjoy pleasures that should be mine, making a blue wave arch above you and hide you both, and making love to the girl in my place.
ΕΝΙΠΕΥΣ: Οὐ μὲν οὖν· ἔφησθα γὰρ ἀπιὼν ὅτι Ποσειδῶν ἦσθα. ὃ καὶ μάλιστα ἐλύπησεν αὐτήν· καὶ ἐγὼ τοῦτο ἠδίκημαι, ὅτι τὰ ἐμὰ σὺ ηὐφραίνου τότε καὶ περιστήσας πορφύρεόν τι κῦμα, ὅπερ ὑμᾶς συνέκρυπτεν ἅμα, συνῆσθα τῇ παιδὶ ἀντ' ἐμοῦ.
POSEIDON: Yes, but only because you didn’t want her, Enipeus.
ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝ: Ναί· σὺ γὰρ οὐκ ἤθελες, ὦ Ἐνιπεῦ.
