Of another, who caused hers to lose his reason with her
potions?
Aristophanes
Have I said how we use the hollow handles of our brooms to draw up
wine unbeknown to our husbands.
THIRD WOMAN. The cursed jade!
MNESILOCHUS. And how we give meats to our lovers at the feast of the
Apaturia and then accuse the cat....
THIRD WOMAN. She's mad!
MNESILOCHUS. ... Have I mentioned the woman who killed her husband with a
hatchet?
Of another, who caused hers to lose his reason with her
potions?
And of the Acharnian woman ...
THIRD WOMAN. Die, you bitch!
MNESILOCHUS. ... who buried her father beneath the bath?[594]
THIRD WOMAN. And yet we listen to such things?
MNESILOCHUS. Have I told how you attributed to yourself the male child
your slave had just borne and gave her your little daughter?
