Texts

λούεσθαί σε λέγουσι πολὺν χρόνον, Ἡλιοδώρα,
γραῖαν ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν μὴ καταλυομένην.
πλὴν ἔγνωκα τίνος ποιεῖς χάριν: ὡς ὁ παλαιὸς
ἐλπίζεις Πελίας ἑψομένη νεάσαι.

— Paton edition

They say you spend a long time in the bath, Heliodora, an old woman of a hundred not yet retired from the profession. But I know why you do it. You hope to grow young, like old Pelias, by being boiled.
