#Alcibiades/Hipparete/Antiochus?

[kebriones]

ALCIBIADES: Finally, we're alone! After so much fighting with the crowd, it's something for me to be again with my wife and my best friend.

HIPPARETE: it's been a while since I last heard you talk like that. I was not expecting it today

ALCIBIADES: Today, you should have expected it. In a time like this, I need you more than ever.

HIPPARETE: You know well that you need only to remember us, give us a nod, and we'll be by your side. We'll never leave you. Isn't that right, Antiochus?

ANTIOCHUS: Whoever loves Alcibiades, is bound by a tie stronger than anything in the world.

HIPPARETE: An irredeemable bond, i can say this.

ANTIOCHUS: For many people today, in Athens, Alcibiades is the purpose of life.

HIPPARETE (to Alcibiades): you hear what he's saying about you? The purpose of life. What should I say then?

ALCIBIADES: Don't say anything. Don't make me feel how selfish i am towards you (both). But do not doubt ehat I'm telling you now. The wind is cold up there, on the lone peaks of fame and power. I have need of this warmth I find near you (both) and that makes me, for a little while, feel like a child again. Without your (plural) love, i don't know if I could manage to stand until the end the role I've chosen.
