altar-steam

Updated: June 13, 2025

And now, suppose any one insults me, or robs my temple, or upsets an image of me, am I not to pulverize him, just because the Fates have not decreed it long ago? Zeus. Certainly not. Herac. Then allow me to speak my mind; I'm a blunt man; I call a spade a spade. If this is the state of things with you, good-bye for me to your honours and altar-steam and fat of victims; I shall be off to Hades.
