Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 2
But, as he began it late, he ended his life before the work, so that the more the reader is delighted with the part that is written, the more regret he has to find it unfinished."
그러나 그가 늦게 시작했기 때문에, 작업이 끝나기 전에 생을 마감하였고, 그리하여 독자가 쓰여진 부분에 더 큰 기쁨을 느낄수록, 그것이 미완성으로 남아 있음을 발견하는 데 더 큰 아쉬움을 느끼게 된다."
There can be no question that Solon visited Egypt.
솔론이 이집트를 방문했다는 것은 의심할 여지가 없다.
The causes of his departure from Athens, for a period of ten years, are fully explained by Plutarch.
그가 아테네를 떠나 십 년간 머물렀던 이유는 플루타르코스에 의해 충분히 설명되어 있다.
He dwelt, he tells us,
그는 우리에게 이렇게 전한다,
"On the Canopian shore, by Nile's deep mouth."
"카노푸스의 해안에서, 나일강의 깊은 어귀 곁에."
There he conversed upon points of philosophy and history with the most learned of the Egyptian priests.
그곳에서 그는 이집트의 가장 박식한 사제들과 철학 및 역사에 관한 주제들을 논하였다.
He was a man of extraordinary force and penetration of mind, as his laws and his sayings, which have been preserved to us, testify.
그는 비범한 정신력과 통찰력을 지닌 인물이었으며, 우리에게 전해 내려온 그의 법률과 어록이 이를 증명한다.
There is no improbability in the statement that he commenced in verse a history and description of Atlantis, which he left unfinished at his death; and it requires no great stretch of the imagination to believe that this manuscript reached the hands of his successor and descendant, Plato; a scholar, thinker, and historian like himself, and, like himself, one of the profoundest minds of the ancient world.
그가 아틀란티스에 관한 역사와 묘사를 운문으로 시작했으나 죽음으로 인해 미완성으로 남겼다는 진술은 전혀 있을 법하지 않은 일이 아니며, 이 원고가 그의 후계자이자 후손인 플라톤의 손에 들어갔다고 믿는 것도 상상력을 크게 발휘할 필요가 없다. 플라톤은 솔론처럼 학자이자 사상가이며 역사가였고, 솔론처럼 고대 세계에서 가장 심오한 정신을 지닌 인물 중 하나였다.
