From Anne Carson’s “Autobiography of Red”

Translations of fragments of Stesichoros:

X. Schooling

In those days the police were weak Family was strong

Hand in hand the first day Geryon’s mother took him to

School She neatened his little red wings and pushed him

In through the door

XI. Right

Are there many little boys who think they are a

Monster? But in my case I am right said Geryon to the

Dog they were sitting on the bluffs The dog regarded him

Joyfully
