Hill Sittace sighed: „The previous Agesilaus envoy comes to here to seek oracle the time, but also put forward a request to me, ‚ hope, when Sparta hostile city-state comes to here to seek oracle, we can the content that they seek on the quiet tell the Sparta person......” 西尔西塔斯叹了口气:“上次阿格西劳斯的使者来这里求取神谕的时候,还向我提了一个要求,‘希望当斯巴达的敌对城邦来这里求取神谕时,我们能够将他们求取的内容悄悄告诉斯巴达人……” „Also continues these.” Pat Moss who is responsible for managing the Saint storehouse said angrily: „Polibbi Haddas after leaving temple, but also went to my there to transfer specially, he said unintentionally, ‚this they expedited the northern Greece to consume a lot of commodities time, but also fell behind in the team the pays of more than 1000 mercenaries’......” “还不止这些。”负责管理圣库的帕特摩斯愤然说道:“波利比阿达斯在离开神庙之后,还特意去我那里去转了一圈,他有意无意的说了一句,‘这一次他们远征北希腊消耗了大量的物资,还拖欠了队伍中一千多雇佣兵的薪酬’……” „The Sparta person was really rampant!” Priest Caba Tass's angry shouting that is responsible for the Pythia games: „We must to them a lesson, to eliminate their ambition to the Delphi!” “斯巴达人真是太嚣张了！”负责皮提亚运动会的祭司卡巴塔斯愤怒的喊道:“我们必须要给他们一点教训,以打消他们对德尔菲的野心！” „To the Sparta lesson? But it now the overlord in Greece, the back also has the Persians support. If enraged it, perhaps is more disadvantageous saying that to our Delphi......” Pat Moss is somewhat worried about. “给斯巴达教训？它现在可是希腊的霸主,背后又有波斯人支持。要是激怒了它,恐怕对我们德尔斐更不利……”帕特摩斯有些担心的说道。 At this time, officiated Sitares to ponder for a long time idea said: „Who said that we must go to positive/direct resistance Sparta! We can invite a strong influence on join the Holy Alliance, to balance Sparta in union overwhelming superiority.” 此时,主祭西塔尔西斯将思考了许久的想法说了出来:“谁说我们要去正面的对抗斯巴达！我们可以邀请一个强大的势力加入神圣同盟,以平衡斯巴达在同盟里的占据的绝对优势。” Priests eyes one bright. 祭司们眼睛一亮。 Pat Moss thinks saying: „Whom did that invite is quite good? Macedonia?” 帕特摩斯想了想说道:“那邀请谁比较好？马其顿？” „Macedonia!” Caba Tass snort/hum: „The Sparta person expedites the northern Greece, to help Macedonia. The Macedonia person feels grateful Sparta also without enough time, how can also resist with it! Let alone Macedonia territory, although length and breadth, but does not have the sufficient strength, even the barbarians are unable to defeat, how also possibly to resist powerful Sparta!” “马其顿！”卡巴塔斯哼了一声:“斯巴达人远征北希腊,就是为了帮助马其顿。马其顿人感激斯巴达还来不及,又怎会与它对抗！更何况马其顿领土虽然广袤,但却没有足够的力量,连蛮夷都无法战胜,又怎么可能对抗得了强大的斯巴达！” At this time, another priest Krey raised gate nun „”, hesitant saying: „Now can perhaps only have Theonia...... we to invite it with the Greek influence that Sparta resists?” 这时,另一位祭司克雷提门尼“哦”了一声,犹豫的说道:“现在能够与斯巴达对抗的希腊势力恐怕就只有戴奥尼亚了……难道我们要邀请它？” He finishes speaking, Caba Tass opposed on loud statement: „It is not good! It is not good! Theonia is a barbaric kingdom, at all is not the Greek influence!” 他话音刚落,卡巴塔斯就大声的提出反对:“不行！不行！戴奥尼亚是个野蛮的王国,根本不是希腊势力！” „Is Kingdom of Theonia possibly the barbaric country? Last year and at the entire Greek scholar congress, goes to the Thurii scholar to be many this year, moreover praised to there academic atmosphere greatly. Let alone, Thurii, Taranto, Locri, Scylletium, Crotone, Rhegion and Catania Kingdom of Theonia subordinate...... these cities more than ten years ago may be west Mediterranean famous Greece city-state, every year contributed much money......” Krey to raise the Nepali argument to say to the Delphi Saint storehouse. “戴奥尼亚王国怎么可能是野蛮国家呢？去年和今年在那里举行的全希腊学者大会,前往图里伊的学者很多,而且都对那里的学术氛围大为夸奖。更何况,戴奥尼亚王国下属的图里伊、塔兰图姆、洛克里、西里庭、克罗托内、利吉姆、卡塔奈……这些城市十几年前可都是西地中海著名的希腊城邦,每年向德尔菲圣库贡献了不少的金银……”克雷提门尼辩解道。 „Holy Alliance has not invited the tradition that western Mediterranean any Greek city-state has joined, because they are the colonies.” Caba Tass still opposes. “神圣同盟还从来没有邀请过西地中海的任何一个希腊城邦加入的传统,因为他们都是殖民地。”卡巴塔斯依然表示反对。 Krey raises gate nun to sigh: „, Now is not dozens years ago, all depend on the city-state strength to speak, the tradition 11 had been broken, in the treaty of alliance of Holy Alliance has added that ‚does not allow to destroy city-state in any union.’ But you looked that looks like Sparta to destroy Mantinea, Platia's example to be few! But Theonia is west the Mediterranean most powerful Greece country, perhaps is also in the entire Greek world the strongest influence, Sparta person also repeatedly on own initiative to Thurii discussion treaty of alliance, only then invited Theonia to join the union, will make overbearing Sparta produce dreads, but restraining own behavior.” 克雷提门尼叹了口气:“诸位,现在已经不是几十年前了,一切都靠城邦的实力来说话,传统早已被一一打破,神圣同盟的盟约中还说过,‘不允许毁灭任何一个同盟中的城邦。’可你看象斯巴达毁灭曼丁尼亚、普拉蒂亚的例子还少吗！而戴奥尼亚是西地中海最强大的希腊国家,恐怕也是整个希腊世界中最强大的势力,就连斯巴达人也多次主动到图里伊商谈盟约,只有邀请戴奥尼亚加入同盟,才会让霸道的斯巴达产生畏惧,而收敛自己的行为。” Krey raises the words of gate nun to let the people looking pensive. 克雷提门尼的话让众人若有所思。 Pat Moss's awkward saying: „Even if we intend to invite Theonia to join the Holy Alliance, Theonia will agree? Must know that these years, we and Olympia resolutely opposed equally Theonia attended the competition, because also it never consecrates gold and silver to the Delphi Saint storehouse, but publicizes the barbarism of Theonia in secret, hopes that the Greek freemen do not go to the Theonia immigration......” 帕特摩斯为难的说道:“就算我们有意邀请戴奥利亚加入神圣同盟,戴奥尼亚就会同意吗？要知道这些年来,我们同奥林匹亚一样坚决反对戴奥尼亚参加赛会,还因为它从不向德尔菲圣库供奉金银,而暗中宣扬戴奥尼亚的野蛮,希望希腊自由民不要去戴奥尼亚移民……” Some priests facial expression non- natures, these matters they have done. 祭司们都有些神情不自然,这些事儿他们都干过。 Caba Tass complained: „Theonia esteems Hades extremely, will cause to come the Delphi seeking oracle Theonia people getting fewer and fewer......, entire west Mediterranean Greeks will perhaps regard Delphi without the thing this way.” 卡巴塔斯诉苦道:“戴奥尼亚极度推崇哈迪斯,使得前来德尔菲求取神谕的戴奥尼亚民众越来越少……再这样下去,恐怕整个西地中海的希腊人都会视德尔斐于无物。” His words aroused the resonance of priest, everyone also starts to complain. 他的话引起了众祭司的共鸣,大家也纷纷开始诉苦。 At this time, officiated Hill Sittace saying: „It seems like you had determined the Greek country that must invite is Theonia. As for the Temple of Hades issue, I thought but actually everyone does not need to worry, I see Theonia Temple of Hades, although the weight/quantity in the Theonia people heart is very heavy, but Temple of Hades seems to be practicing divination and issuing the oracle aspect not to regard as important, but this exactly is the domain that our Delphi excels , is also the only domain!” Hill Sittace with emphasis, emphasized one. 这时,主祭西尔西塔斯开口说道:“看来你们都已经确定了要邀请的希腊国家是戴奥尼亚。至于哈迪斯神庙的问题,我倒觉得大家不用担心,我了解过戴奥尼亚的哈迪斯神庙,虽然在戴奥尼亚民众心中分量很重,但是哈迪斯神庙似乎在占卜和颁发神谕方面并不是十分看重,而这恰恰是我们德尔斐所擅长的领域,也是唯一的领域！”西尔西塔斯加重语气,强调了一句。 His very clear Hades can develop in Theonia at heart so rapidly, definitely is that declared is „the Hades descendant” promotion that domineering king, Delphi should not stupidly arrive to stroke others tigers to: „Delphi and Temple of Hades do not conflict, I think Delphi for several hundred years the oracle tradition will let run into the difficult belt/bring Theonia people to obtain the direction of Apollo. But we can also direct the life difficult Greece freemen to go to the Italian Peninsula, seeks new life......” 他的心里很清楚哈迪斯之所以在戴奥尼亚能够发展如此迅速,肯定是那位宣称是“哈迪斯后裔”的强势国王的推动,德尔斐不应该傻到去捋人家的虎须:“德尔斐与哈迪斯神庙互不冲突,我想德尔菲几百年来的神谕传统会让遇到困难的带戴奥尼亚民众希望得到阿波罗的指引。而我们也可以指引生活困难的希腊自由民前往意大利半岛,去寻找新的生活……” „Even if Theonia is willing to join the Holy Alliance, perhaps Sparta will not agree that he joins, after all we only then right to suggest, without decision-making power!” Pat Moss reminded. “就算戴奥尼亚愿意加入神圣同盟,恐怕斯巴达也不会同意他加入的,毕竟我们只有建议权,没有决定权！”帕特摩斯提醒道。 Hill Sittace sighed: „This is the issue that I most am worried about. Heard in treaty of alliance that in Theonia and Sparta sign, there is about ‚Theonia can not be involved the eastern Mediterranean business’ the treaty. Although this explained fear of Sparta to Theonia, but also showed that the Sparta person filled vigilantly to Theonia, Sparta resolutely will certainly oppose that Theonia joins the Holy Alliance.” 西尔西塔斯叹了口气:“这是我所最担心的问题。听说在戴奥尼亚与斯巴达签订的盟约中,有关于‘戴奥尼亚不得涉入东地中海事务’的条约。这虽然说明了斯巴达对戴奥尼亚的畏惧,但也证明斯巴达人对戴奥尼亚充满了警惕,斯巴达一定会坚决反对戴奥尼亚加入神圣同盟。” „But the Holy Alliance does not have right that interferes with other city-state business, it is only an organization that protects Delphi, I think that Sparta will not respond is so fierce.” Krey raises gate nun to say comfortably. “可是神圣同盟并不具有干涉其他城邦事务的权利,它只是一个保护德尔斐的组织,我想斯巴达不会反应那么剧烈。”克雷提门尼宽慰道。 Hill Sittace put out at this time had thought the good idea: „Can my suggestion is...... we send people to go to Thurii quietly, discussed with King Theonia, making them set the request to the Holy Alliance, but we relate Athens, Corinth, Argos and Mecca in secret and others with city-state that Sparta becomes estranged, such two-sided exerts pressure, believes that Sparta also has no alternative but to give careful consideration......” 西尔西塔斯在这时拿出了已经想好的主意:“我的建议是……我们能不能派人悄悄去图里伊,同戴奥尼亚国王商谈,让他们主动向神圣同盟提出要求,而我们私下里联系雅典、科林斯、阿哥斯、麦加腊等与斯巴达有隙的城邦,这样双面施压,相信斯巴达也不能不慎重考虑……” The priests listen, thought that this idea is good, no one raised the objection, ‚by some chance what to do isn't Theonia willing to join the Holy Alliance?’, Because Theonia can obtain Greeks the invitation of sacred place Delphi in their opinion, definitely is in an ecstasy of delight. 众祭司听完,都觉得这个主意不错,没有一个人提出异议,‘万一戴奥尼亚不愿加入神圣同盟怎么办？’,因为在他们看来戴奥尼亚能得到希腊人的圣地德尔菲的邀请,肯定是欢喜若狂。 Pat Moss looked that to Pythia that has sat in repose with eyes closed, respectful and prudent asking: „About this matter, how Apollo oracle to say time?” 帕特摩斯看向一直闭目养神的皮提亚,恭谨的问道:“关于这一次的事情,阿波罗的神谕怎么说？” Like such serious matter, has certainly consulted the Apollo oracle institute beforehand, if absolutely does not have the chance of success is impossible to raise in the conference of priest. 像这么重大的事情,事先一定请教过阿波罗的神谕所,如果完全没有成功的希望是不可能在祭司的会议上提出来的。 The vision of people focuses on Pythia.( Request that the elderly woman who this wears the young girl attire this dressing up is the Apollo temple, she is the symbol of pure and chaste) opens the muddy eyes, with she hoarse low and deep voice long song: „ Sun of burning hot, 众人的目光都聚焦在皮提亚身上。这位穿着少女装束的老年妇女(这种装扮是阿波罗神庙的要求,她是贞洁的象征)睁开浑浊的双眼,用她沙哑低沉的声音悠悠的颂道:“炙热的太阳啊, Is exhausting its brilliance, 正在耗尽它的光辉, Crashes to the hills, 坠落到群山之下, The jet black curtain of night has arrived, 漆黑的夜幕已经降临, Bunches of flaming bonfires, 一簇簇熊熊的篝火, Illuminates it like the daytime, 将它照得如同白昼, ...... ” ……” In the priests think deeply about this oracle abstruse meaning, Hill Sittace connection said: „Because Theonia presents Hades is the kingdom patron, this god is only the lord of darkness, therefore I think that Apollo oracle was saying, Sun that ‚ Sparta represents has soon declined, Theonia will replace. As for these bonfires, I have not wanted to understand, perhaps refers to another emerging influence......” 就在祭司们思索这神谕的深奥含义之时,西尔西塔斯接口说道:“由于戴奥尼亚奉哈迪斯为王国保护神,这位神祗是黑暗之主,因此我认为阿波罗神谕是在说,‘斯巴达所代表的太阳已经快要没落,戴奥尼亚将会取代。至于那些篝火,我还没想明白,或许指的是又一个新兴的势力……” oracle obscurely is always difficult to be bright, itself made one ponder over airtight like the god. Although the priests are unreadable for a while, but does not affect their execution to this matter, because seems like at least the general orientation is right...... 神谕总是晦涩难明,就像神祗本身令人琢磨不透。众祭司虽然一时难以理解,但并不影响他们对这件事的执行,因为看起来至少大方向是对的…… ................................. …………………………… Last year cool summer hot died a Sparta king Agassi Polis. This year's summer, to Theonia, is actually a huge test. 去年的酷夏热死了一个斯巴达王阿格西波里斯。今年的夏天,对戴奥尼亚来说,却是一个巨大的考验。 In the Theonia royal palace, king Davos and business secretary Marigi and finance minister Mersis and five council rotating presidents in the report of dignified listening attentively agricultural affairs minister Burkes. 在戴奥尼亚王宫,国王戴弗斯、商务大臣马里吉、财务大臣梅尔西斯、五位元老院轮值主席都在神情凝重的倾听农务大臣布尔科斯的汇报。 „ Actually last year, spring the rainwater of summer two seasons were less than the past. But to this year, from February to the present July, south intent area does not have rain by 5 months, Lucania and Apulia( this area including Messapi, Peuceti and Dauni), Magna Graecia and Bruttii these areas is facing the serious water shortage, the exposing river bed, had basically turned into the small stream like Snow river and Saraz Ceno these small rivers, is the river surface stricts, water level to drop like Crati river, Amato river and Neto river these big rivers...... “其实在去年的时候,春夏两季的雨水就比以往要少。而到了今年,从2月到现在7月,南意地区已经由五个多月没有下过一场雨,卢卡尼亚、阿普利亚(这一地区包括梅萨皮、普切蒂和道尼)、大希腊、布鲁提这些地区都面临着严重的缺水,像西斯诺河、萨拉切诺河这些小的河流基本上已经裸露河床、变成了小溪,像克拉蒂河、拉马托河、内托河这些大的河流也是河面变窄、水位下降…… If not the application of waterwheel wide scope, the Sybaris plain, the Crotone plain, the Eufemia plain and Cosson note plateau has possibly presented a large area of young wheat to lose plant, but if such drought continues to continue for a month, perhaps to September the time entire south intent area serious poor harvest of fall harvest. From present this situation, the possibility of this bad situation is big!...... ” 如果不是水车大范围的应用,绪巴里平原、克罗顿平原、欧费米亚平原、科森札高原可能已经出现了大面积的麦苗枯死,但是如果这样的干旱继续持续一个月,恐怕到9月秋收的时候整个南意地区会严重歉收。从现在这种情况来看,这种糟糕的情况发生的可能性非常大！……” „May not only be the issue of crop failure. Such arid weather continued is so long, the forage grass in mountainous area also lost plant, the domestic animal that the herdsman fed died also many!” The Vespa sorrow sighed. “可不光是谷物歉收的问题。这样干旱的天气持续了这么久,山区里的牧草也都枯死了,牧民喂养的牲畜死去的也不少啊！”韦斯巴哀叹道。 „I remember that the previous south intent area has the drought 25 years ago. These year of good crop weather, the kingdoms and people obtain benefits much, perhaps many people have not made any protection!” Lysias look dignified saying. “我记得上一次南意地区发生旱灾还是在25年前。这些年风调雨顺,王国和民众都获益不少,恐怕很多人对此都没有做任何防备！”吕西阿斯神色凝重的说道。
