Why the Athens pottery receives the affection of Theonia rich people, is not only the pottery that because this black bottom draws red establishes a new school and good-quality, because also on pottery fine drawing. Athens gathered Greek world many outstanding painters, they are almost engaged in the bottle picture enterprise, Nixi Moss is outstanding person, he once obtained in the bottle picture competition of flood Athena stopper meeting twice superior, Hess Claus spent the large sum of money to invite to come him. 雅典陶器为什么受到戴奥尼亚富人们的喜爱,不光是因为这种黑底红绘的陶器独树一帜、质量上乘,还因为陶器上精美的图画。雅典汇聚了希腊世界很多优秀画家,他们几乎都从事着瓶画事业,奥尼希摩斯是其中的佼佼者,他曾经在泛雅典娜塞会的瓶画比赛中获得两次优胜,赫斯克劳斯花了重金才将其聘请过来。 Facing Hess Claus's thinking highly, Nixi Moss's performance and other Athenians not too greatly are different: „Hoping Theonian can appreciate to my work something beautiful completely!...... The number of this batch of pottery were too many, I am somewhat tired, need the rest some time.” 面对赫斯克劳斯的恭维,奥尼希摩斯的表现和其他雅典人并无太大不同:“但愿戴奥尼亚人能够完全欣赏到我作品的美妙之处！啊……这批陶器的数量太多了,我有些累,需要休息一段时间。” Looks that puts on airs, stretch oneself and have the yawn Nixi Moss, Hess Claus in the unstated criticism, on the mouth actually echoes to say at heart: „Yes, yes, you truly should rest well...... look like, my order can only temporarily postpone in the future.” 看着装模作样、伸懒腰、打哈欠的奥尼希摩斯,赫斯克劳斯在心里腹诽,嘴上却附和道:“是的,是的,您确实应该好好休息一下……看来,我的这个订单只能暂时往后推迟了。” „How order?!” Nixi Moss impatient saying: „I rested to say again!” “怎么还有订单？！”奥尼希摩斯不耐烦的说道:“等我休息好了再说！” „I can only turn down this order with the customer, because they want is quite anxious.” Saying that Hess Claus seemingly has no intention: „It is said is the goods that the Theonia royal family subscribes personally, they must place this batch of pottery in the royal palace, when the games convenes is used to invite the distinguished guests from various countries.” “那我只能跟买主推掉这个订单了,因为他们要的比较急。”赫斯克劳斯看似无意的说道:“据说是戴奥尼亚王室亲自订的货,他们要将这批陶器摆放在王宫里,并且在运动会召开期间用来宴请来自各国的贵宾。” „What did you say? Goods that the Theonia royal family wants?!” Nixi Moss suddenly earnest asking. “你说什么？戴奥尼亚王室要的货？！”奥尼希摩斯突然认真的问道。 „Yes, I can pledge to Athena, is the order under Theonia royal family!” “是的,我可以向雅典娜发誓,是戴奥尼亚王室下的订单！” „...... I think that after I can wait for this batch of pottery to complete, rests.” Nixi Moss changes a statement immediately brazenly. Do not look that his face looks down upon the Theonian appearance, but he understands that the Theonia sacred kingdom is entire west Mediterranean and overlord in Greek world, its royal family is what kind of honored, if his work can have King Theonia of unsurpassed power to like, and was also used to receive other city-state distinguished guests, he will certainly raise entire Mediterranean( the Athens pottery has characteristics, on pottery has to manufacture the signature of potter and bottle painter). “呃……我想我可以等这批陶器完成之后再休息。”奥尼希摩斯立刻厚着脸皮改口。别看他一脸瞧不起戴奥尼亚人的模样,但他心里十分明白戴奥尼亚神圣王国是整个西地中海和希腊世界的霸主,其王室是何等的尊贵,如果他的作品能够被拥有无上权力的戴奥尼亚国王喜爱,并且还被用来接待其他城邦的贵宾,那他必将名扬整个地中海了(雅典陶器有一个特征,陶器上有制作陶工和瓶画家的签名)。 Hess Claus corners of the mouth appear ridiculing smiling, on the mouth said: „Good, my arranges.” 赫斯克劳斯嘴角浮现一丝揶揄的笑,嘴上说道:“好,我这就去安排。” „Waits, what does the content of bottle picture have to request?” “等一等,瓶画的内容有什么要求？” „Must be " Hades God Standard » related content, but after all Theonia royal family Hades descendant.” “必须是《哈迪斯神典》的有关内容,毕竟戴奥尼亚王室可是哈迪斯的后裔。” „I understood, buys «Hades God Standard» for me as soon as possible comes.” Nixi Moss's saying without hesitation. “我明白了,尽快给我买一本《哈迪斯神典》来。”奥尼希摩斯毫不犹豫的说道。 Theonian likes the Athens pottery also reason , because the Athens pottery bottle picture like other city-state pottery bottle pictures mostly is not the still life, its bottle picture is narrative, wars, heroic legends and various God wait/etc, moreover often has a solemn and stirring epic feeling, perhaps this likes the play being related with Athenians. 戴奥尼亚人喜欢雅典陶器还有一个原因,是因为雅典陶器瓶画不像其他城邦陶器瓶画大多是静物,它的瓶画是叙事性的,战争、英雄传说、诸神等等,而且往往有着一种悲壮的史诗感,这或许跟雅典人喜欢戏剧有关。 But the Theonia customers mostly in the war with Kingdom of Theonia rise process and Hades miracle and King Davos great mark are often concerned to the request that the Athens pottery business puts forward, the parents have requirement, the bottle painters also can only obey, to had the smart person afterward unexpectedly in the color Lesija town/subdues a bookstore, the books of special sell related Theonia sacred kingdom: 《Anabasis》 Xenophon, «Magna Graecia History» Ansitanos, «Western Mediterranean games Recording» Henie Polis, «Northern Italy Chronicle»( consulted kingdom intelligence department law clerk Marsch Muse by Ansitanos in Thurii library forbidden area in the past in information that Etruscan border army corps wrote, reorganization became)...... also has certainly( Hades god standard). This also makes color Lesija besides beautiful Senia, new Sparta and Thessaly, only sells " Hades God Standard » place in Greece publicly. 而戴奥尼亚买主们往往向雅典陶器商提的要求大多与戴奥尼亚王国崛起过程中的战争、哈迪斯的神迹、戴弗斯国王的伟迹有关,衣食父母们有要求,瓶画家们也只能顺从,到后来有聪明人竟然在色莱西亚镇上开了一个书店,专门出售有关戴奥尼亚神圣王国的书籍:《长征记》色诺芬所著、《大希腊史》安西塔诺斯所著、《西地中海记》赫尼波里斯所著、《意大利北部纪事》(由安西塔诺斯在图里伊图书馆禁区查阅王国情报部书记官马西姆斯当年在伊特鲁里亚边境兵团所写的情报,改编而成)……当然也有(哈迪斯神典)。这也使得色莱西亚成为除美赛尼亚、新斯巴达、塞萨利之外,在希腊本土唯一公开售卖《哈迪斯神典》的地方。 „Be careful! Is surely careful! If were injured by falling down, you three months of pay may not have! The loud reminder that......” foreman does not stop talking transports the slaves of pottery, each article fine pottery put to overspread the wooden crate of straw and in thick wool. “小心！千万要小心！要是摔坏了一个,你们三个月的薪酬可就没啦！……”工头不住口的大声提醒搬运陶器的奴隶们,一件件精美的陶器被放入铺满稻草和厚厚的羊毛的木箱里。 Before embarking, Hess Claus urged the foreman to start the manufacture of next batch of pottery over and over as soon as possible, but must strive for perfection, can not make any mistake. 在出发前,赫斯克劳斯再三叮嘱工头要尽快开始下一批陶器的制作,但是必须精益求精,不得有任何差错。 Color Lesija does not have a harbor, specially for the transportation and exit|to speak of pottery, but Hess Claus first ships back the pottery to oneself in the Athens suburbs dwelling. Said that is own dwelling, actually rents for a long time, because Hess Claus is a foreigner, without the power purchases the Athens real estate. 色莱西亚不远就有一个港口,专门供陶器的运输和出口,但赫斯克劳斯还是先将陶器运回到自己在雅典市郊的宅院。说是自己的宅院,其实只是长期租住,因为赫斯克劳斯是外邦人,没有权力购买雅典的不动产。 If 4 years ago, Hess Claus simply does not have the guts to come Athens to settle down to do business, because he from was once regarded as place of barbarian the small-scale merchant of Thessaly by Athenians, but Thessaly becomes the area of Theonia sacred kingdom, Thessalian becomes the Theonia citizen, but Hess Claus knew fortunately a Thurii big merchant, obtains it to lead by the hand and subsidize, he moves to Athens whole family, is engaged in making Tao Ye. 如果是在四年之前,赫斯克劳斯根本没有胆量来雅典定居做生意,因为他是来自于曾经被雅典人视作蛮夷之地的塞萨利的一个小商人,但是塞萨利成为了戴奥尼亚神圣王国的一个地区,塞萨利人成为戴奥尼亚公民,而赫斯克劳斯又有幸认识了一位图里伊大商人,得到其提携和资助,他才举家迁往雅典,从事制陶业。 Athens is open city-state, each industry flooded lots of foreigners, but the status is mostly mean. Although the Athens citizen loathes Hess Claus's status, but the status of Theonia citizen actually guaranteed him, when encounters the judge not to dare to be partial to the native troublesome, naturally he must probably observe the Athens law, and must pay the public welfare subscription besides regular payment certain taxes and fees occasionally, as outside nation merchant, he also needs to pay the small market tax that a Athens citizen is exempted. 雅典是一个开放的城邦,各个行业充斥了大量的外邦人,但大多都身份低微。雅典公民虽然厌恶赫斯克劳斯的身份,但戴奥尼亚公民的身份却保证了他在遭遇麻烦的时候法官不敢太偏向本地人,当然他也必须得遵守雅典的法律,除了定期缴纳一定的税费和偶尔要交纳公益捐外,作为外邦商人,他还需要交纳一种雅典公民免交的小额市场税。 Naturally these expenses regarding the profit that he makes are only a drop in the bucket, those who most make him feel relieved is because of his status, he will not be recruited by the Athens government at will, goes to battle as the rewiring infantry. Naturally since establishment of new Greek Alliance, Greece has not had the war again, the day that the people feel alarmed and anxious has passed by. 当然这些费用对于他所挣得的利润而言只是九牛一毛,最让他放心的是因为他的身份,他不会被雅典政府随意征召,作为重装步兵出战。当然自从新希腊联盟的建立之后,希腊本土再也没有发生过战争,民众担惊受怕的日子已经过去。 Now Hess Claus does not have the desire of returning to Thessaly, is willing to treat in this Athens life that fills with the commercial aura. 如今赫斯克劳斯已经没有了返回塞萨利的欲望,更愿意一直待在这个充满商业气息的雅典生活。 In the evening, Hess Claus held a banquet at home, invited same as him in several Thessaly merchants of Athens doing business. 晚上,赫斯克劳斯在家里举办了一个宴会,邀请了跟他一样在雅典经商的几个塞萨利商人。 Everyone sits at the banquet is eating food of delicacy, is drinking the wine, was speaking freely these years Theonia to the momentous change that Thessaly brought about. 大家坐在宴席上吃着美味的食物,喝着葡萄酒,畅谈着这几年戴奥尼亚给塞萨利带来的巨大变化。 Did not say other, their banquet forms change are very big, no longer like the traditional Greek banquet, each guest has a bed, partly lies down is eating, drinking and talks, but sits on the wooden chair, the body front is suspending own table, this is the day-by-day frequency that because the Theonia native place and Thessaly communicated, as well as after some Theonia local citizens migrated the Thessaly plain, influence. Thessalian compared south Greece to have an inferiority, now they become the Theonia citizen, although this inferiority is gradually dissipating, but another inferiority is actually multiplying quietly, when that facing coming from the citizen in Theonia local, therefore communicated close Thessalian with the Theonia native place continuously the learn/study of making contribution, for example the merchants have been imitating their manners and customs diligently, hoping to pull closer with the distance of opposite party. 不说其他的,他们的酒宴形式就变化很大,不再是像传统的希腊宴会一样,每位客人都有一张卧榻,半躺着吃食、喝酒、交谈,而是都坐在木椅上,身体前方摆着自己的餐桌,这是由于戴奥尼亚本土与塞萨利来往的日益频繁,以及一些戴奥尼亚本土公民移居塞萨利平原后造成的影响。塞萨利人原本相较南面的希腊本土有一种自卑感,如今他们成为了戴奥尼亚公民,这种自卑感虽然在逐渐消逝,但另一种自卑感却在悄然滋生,那就是面对来自戴奥尼亚本土的公民时,所以与戴奥利亚本土来往密切的塞萨利人一直在尽力的学习,比如商人们一直在努力模仿他们的风俗习惯,以期拉近与对方的距离。 The atmosphere of banquet is very warm, everyone a little drinks many, Hess Claus also called oneself eldest son Leary Yaaz, told him drunkenly: Tomorrow, must lead him to go by boat together Thurii. 酒宴的气氛很热烈,大家都喝得有点多,赫斯克劳斯还叫来了自己的大儿子利里亚斯,醉醺醺的告诉他:明天,要带他一起乘船去图里伊。 This 9-year-old boy is excited a evening not to have a good sleep to think. 这个9岁的男孩儿兴奋得一晚上都没睡好觉。 The result's 2nd day early morning, after becoming sober Hess Claus not to remember completely this matter, Leary Yaaz has blubbered, finally under consoling of wife, Hess Claus has to nod assent. 结果第二天一早,酒醒后的赫斯克劳斯完全不记得有过此事,利里亚斯又哭又闹,最终在妻子的劝解下,赫斯克劳斯不得不点头同意。 Has had the breakfast, he leads the son, is getting the team, arrived compared Piraeus. 吃过早餐,他就带着儿子,领着驮队,来到了比雷埃夫斯港。 Piraeus is east the Mediterranean biggest business harbor, every day several thousand freighters in this/should port turnover, unusual prosperity. 比雷埃夫斯是东地中海最大的商贸港口,每天有几千艘货船在该港进出,异常的繁荣。 Hess Claus arrives at a remote wharf, although weather still early, here has been full of the freighter, in the ground chocked up all kinds of commodities, the innumerable wharf labor forces and slaves are bustling about transports the cargo toward the ship on. At the banquet, several Thessaly merchants made today to embark to go to Thurii last night luckily together, they have subscribed the freighter, found the labor force( to stipulate compared with Piraeus: The non- harbor respective team can not enter the wharf, in order to avoid disrupts the order of wharf, causes losses), Hess Claus quickly invited the labor force carefully will install the wooden crate of pottery before the warehouse that moved to the wharf, then the foreman of labor force led him to enter the warehouse. 赫斯克劳斯来到一个偏僻的码头,尽管天色尚早,这里已经停满了货船,地面上摆满了各种各样的商品,无数码头劳力和奴隶正在忙碌的往船上搬运货物。幸好昨晚在宴会上,几名塞萨利商人都约好今天一起出发前往图里伊,他们已经订好了货船,找好了劳力(比雷埃夫斯港规定:非港口所属的驮队不得进入码头,以免扰乱码头的秩序,造成损失),赫斯克劳斯急忙请劳力小心的将自己装陶器的木箱一个个搬到码头的仓库前,然后劳力的工头带着他进入仓库。 In the giant room center that this chocks up the cargo similarly is the Athens harbor officer in the office of this wharf, they confirmed after Hess Claus must ship out the Athens cargo type and quantity, making Hess Claus conduct the registration and signature, then after the market price calculates the value of its altogether cargo, requesting it immediately to pay the 110 taxes of outward cargo( Athens stipulated, exit|to speak, import cargoes, must pay 110 taxes, simple and crude and convenience, but tax revenue is too high, naturally causes price that commodity sells is also high, once commodity is unsalable, cargo owner faces loss). 在这个同样摆满货物的巨大房间中央是雅典港口官员在这个码头的办事处,他们确认了赫斯克劳斯要运出雅典的货物种类及数量之后,让赫斯克劳斯进行登记和签名,然后根据市场价格核算其整批货物的价值之后,要求其立刻缴纳出口货物的110税(雅典规定,无论是出口、还是进口货物,都必须缴纳110税,简单粗暴而且省事,但是税收过高,自然导致商品卖出的价格也高,一旦商品滞销,货主就面临亏损)。 Hess Claus carried the big Hades silver coins along( the Theonia money, since new Greek Alliance establishes, because it argentiferous quantity is very high, manufacture is fine, but was supported in Greece, but the Athens owl silver coin because of depletion of work Lyon silver ore, with mass consumptions of these year of wars to state treasury, its argentiferous quantity drops lower and lower, already no longer like the past popular, many Athenians are willing to use the Hades silver coin), immediately according to requesting to conduct the delivery. 赫斯克劳斯随身携带了大笔哈迪斯银币(戴奥尼亚钱币,自从新希腊联盟建立之后,它因为含银量很高,制作精美,而在希腊本土受到热捧,而雅典的猫头鹰银币因为劳里昂银矿的枯竭,和这些年战争对国库的大量消耗,其含银量一降再降,已经不再像以往那样受欢迎,就连很多雅典人都更愿意使用哈迪斯银币),立刻按要求进行了交付。 In the office also had set official metering outfit, the office worker conducted the examination to these money earnestly, after determining was unmistakable, authorizes Hess Claus's freighter to leave port. 办事处里还有一整套官方计量工具,办事员认真地对这些钱币进行了检测,确定无误之后,才批准赫斯克劳斯的货船可以离港。 When the cargo was moved embarks, the freighter leaves the wharf, already quickly to noon. 等到货物都被搬上船,货船驶离码头,已经快到中午。 What Hess Claus they rides is the biggest that freighter, after the entire fleet leaves Saronic Gulf, the wind direction transferred south exactly, the fleet of raising sail looks like grows into the wing to go rapidly generally rapidly. Hess Claus and other merchants look the happy expression, because there is a help of sea breeze, meaning the fleet can arrive at Thurii sooner. 赫斯克劳斯他们乘坐的是最大的那艘货船,整个船队驶离萨龙湾后,恰好风向转南,升起风帆的船队像长上了翅膀一般飞速疾驶。赫斯克劳斯等几位商人都面露喜色,因为有海风的帮助,意味着船队能够更早些到达图里伊。
