Knemon consented, and he briefly told them all that he had already recounted to Theagenes and Charikleia: that his home was in Athens, his father was called Aristippos, and Demainete had become his stepmother. He told them also of Demainete's illicit infatuation with him, and how, when she was thwarted of her desires, she devised a scheme against him, using Thisbe as the instrument of her intrigue. He went on to describe the nature of the trap she had laid, how he was banished from the land of his birth, this being the penalty imposed on him by the popular assembly as a father-killer; how, while he was staying on Aigina, first Charias, one of his contemporaries, had brought him the news of Demainete's death and how it had come about after Thisbe had set a trap for her too, and then Antikles had told him how Demainete's family had united against Aristippos and induced the people to suspect him of murder, with the result that he had been subjected to the confiscation of his property, while Thisbe had eloped from Athens with her lover, the merchant from Naukratis. Knemon ended his tale by telling how he had sailed off to Egypt with Antikles in search of Thisbe, hoping to find her and take her back to Athens, where he would clear his father's name and bring her to book. In the period that followed he had faced many dangers and experienced many adventures, finally being captured by buccaneers; but he had managed to escape, only to be captured for a second time as soon as he set foot in Egypt by the bandits called Herdsmen. That was how he had met Theagenes and Charikleia . . .
