DION CHRYSOSTOME, Discours à Célènes (discours 35; traduction anglaise)

τε



Texte grec :

[35,24] οἱ δὲ προσοικοῦντες ἄνθρωποι τὴν μεταξὺ χώραν διελθόντες ἔρημον οὖσαν οὐ πολλὴν ἐφ´ ἁρμάτων, ὑποζεύξαντες ἵππους ταχίστους, ἀφικνοῦνται τῆς μεσημβρίας, ἡνίκα δεδύκασι κατὰ γῆς· ἔπειτα φεύγουσι τὸν χοῦν ἁρπάσαντες. οἱ δὲ αἰσθανόμενοι διώκουσι καὶ μάχονται καταλαβόντες, ἕως ἂν ἀποθάνωσιν ἢ ἀποκτείνωσιν· ἀλκιμώτατοι γάρ εἰσι θηρίων ἁπάντων. ὥστε οὗτοί γε ἐπίστανται τὸ χρυσίον ὁπόσου ἐστὶν ἄξιον, καὶ οὐδὲ προΐενται πρότερον ἢ ἀποθανεῖν.

Traduction française :

[35,24] But the people who live near that land, having traversed the intervening territory (desert land of no great extent) in chariots drawn by horses of greatest speed, arrive at midday, at which time the ants have gone underground; and then these men seize the gold that has been cast forth and flee. And the ants, becoming aware of what has happened, give chase, and, having overtaken their quarry, fight until they either meet their death or kill the foe—for they are the most valiant of all creatures. And so these at any rate know what their gold is worth, and they even die sooner than give it up.
