Translated headword: enemies' charities are uncharitable and not helpful
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Ajax says: "but I will go to the bathing place and the seaside meadows, so I may purify my defilements and escape the weighty wrath of the goddess. When I arrive, whatever trackless place I reach, I will dig up the ground and hide this sword of mine, most despised of weapons, where no one will see it, but may Night and Hades keep it safe below. For I, ever since I took this in my hand as a gift from Hektor, the greatest of my enemies, I have not yet received any reward from the Argives. That proverb among mortals is true, 'enemies' charities are uncharitable and not helpful.' I can assure you that I will know in the future to yield to the gods, and I will learn to respect the sons of Atreus. They are the leaders, so they must be deferred to. Why not? For even the fearsome and the very strong defer to authority."[1]
Interpretation of a dream: dining with enemies leads to a reconciliation.[2]
