Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 6
On one occasion, when he was drawing them on to speak of antiquity, he began to tell about the most ancient things in our part of the world--about Phoroneus, who is called 'the first,' and about Niobe; and, after the Deluge, to tell of the lives of Deucalion and Pyrrha; and he traced the genealogy of their descendants, and attempted to reckon how many years old were the events of which he was speaking, and to give the dates.
한번은, 그가 그들로 하여금 고대에 대해 이야기하도록 유도하였을 때, 그는 우리 세계의 가장 오래된 것들에 대해 이야기하기 시작했다--'최초의 인간'이라 불리는 포로네우스에 대해, 그리고 니오베에 대해; 그리고 대홍수 이후에는 데우칼리온과 피라의 삶에 대해 이야기하였고; 그는 그들의 후손들의 계보를 추적하며, 자신이 이야기하고 있는 사건들이 얼마나 오래된 것인지를 헤아리고 날짜를 제시하려 하였다.
Thereupon, one of the priests, who was of very great age; said, 'O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children, and there is never an old man who is an Hellene.'
그러자 매우 나이가 많은 사제 중 한 명이 말했다. '오 솔론이여, 솔론이여, 그대들 헬라인들은 그저 어린아이들에 불과하며, 헬라인 중에는 노인이란 없다오.'
Solon, bearing this, said, 'What do you mean?'
솔론은 이 말을 듣고 물었다. '무슨 말씀이십니까?'
'I mean to say,' he replied, 'that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age.
'내가 말하려는 것은,' 그가 대답했다, '정신적으로 그대들은 모두 젊다는 것이오; 그대들 사이에는 고대 전통으로 전해 내려온 오래된 견해도 없고, 세월의 무게를 지닌 학문도 없소.
And I will tell you the reason of this: there have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes.
그 이유를 말씀드리겠소: 여러 가지 원인으로 인해 인류에게 수많은 파멸이 있어 왔고, 앞으로도 또다시 있을 것이오.
There is a story which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Phaëthon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt.
그대들조차 간직하고 있는 이야기가 있으니, 옛날에 헬리오스의 아들 파에톤이 아버지의 전차에 말들을 매었으나, 아버지가 다니던 길을 따라 몰 수 없었기에, 지상의 모든 것을 불태웠고, 자신은 벼락에 맞아 죽었다는 것이오.
