1 mercury once determined to learn in what esteem he was held among mortals
2 for this purpose he assumed the character of a man and visited in this disguise a sculptor 's studio having looked at various statues he demanded the price of two figures of jupiter and juno
3 when the sum at which they were valued was named he pointed to a figure of himself saying to the sculptor
4 you will certainly want much more for this as it is the statue of the messenger of the gods and author of all your gain
5 the sculptor replied
6 well if you will buy these i 'll fling you that into the bargain
