Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 5
About the greatest action which the Athenians ever did, and which ought to have been most famous, but which, through the lapse of time and the destruction of the actors, has not come down to us."
아테네인들이 행한 가장 위대한 행적에 관한 것으로, 가장 유명했어야 마땅하지만, 시간의 흐름과 그 행위자들의 소멸로 인해 우리에게 전해지지 않은 그 이야기입니다."
"Tell us," said the other, "the whole story, and how and from whom Solon heard this veritable tradition."
"전부 이야기해 주십시오," 하고 다른 이가 말했다. "솔론이 이 진실된 전승을 어떻게, 그리고 누구로부터 들었는지를요."
He replied: "At the head of the Egyptian Delta, where the river Nile divides, there is a certain district which is called the district of Sais, and the great city of the district is also called Sais, and is the city from which Amasis the king was sprung.
그가 대답했다: "이집트 삼각주의 꼭대기, 나일 강이 갈라지는 곳에 사이스라고 불리는 지역이 있는데, 그 지역의 대도시 역시 사이스라고 불리며, 아마시스 왕이 태어난 도시이기도 합니다.
And the citizens have a deity who is their foundress: she is called in the Egyptian tongue Neith, which is asserted by them to be the same whom the Hellenes called Athene.
그리고 그 시민들에게는 도시의 창건자인 신이 있는데, 그녀는 이집트어로 네이트라고 불리며, 그들은 이 신이 헬레네인들이 아테네라고 부른 신과 동일하다고 주장합니다.
Now, the citizens of this city are great lovers of the Athenians, and say that they are in some way related to them.
그런데 이 도시의 시민들은 아테네인들을 매우 사랑하며, 어떤 식으로든 그들과 연관이 있다고 말합니다.
Thither came Solon, who was received by them with great honor; and he asked the priests, who were most skilful in such matters, about antiquity, and made the discovery that neither he nor any other Hellene knew anything worth mentioning about the times of old.
그곳에 솔론이 찾아왔고, 그는 그들에게 큰 환대를 받았습니다. 그리고 그는 그러한 문제에 가장 정통한 사제들에게 고대에 관해 물었고, 자신도 다른 어떤 헬레네인도 옛 시절에 대해 언급할 만한 것을 전혀 알지 못한다는 사실을 발견했습니다.
