Adler number: epsilon,1061
Translated headword: such a deed have I accomplished as to stop the mouths of each and every one of my enemies as long as there is anything left of the shields from Pylos
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Kleon is harking back to the events at
Pylos and Sphacteria. It was the custom to dedicate the arms [captured] from wars[1] in the temples. So as long, he is saying, as the arms from
Pylos and Sphacteria which I dedicated are on show, nobody will dare to speak against me.

Notes:
Aristophanes,
Knights 844-46 (web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there. For Kleon see generally
kappa 1731. For his military success at
Pylos and Sphacteria, in the SW Peloponnese, see generally
Thucydides 4.1-41 (web address 2).
[1] So here; the scholiast has 'enemies' (a difference of one letter in the Greek).
