Better, better, better, to believe that Ares fled shrieking and wounded from a mortal man better to believe in Zeus's adulteries and Hermes's thefts than to believe that gods have never spoken face to face with men!
I will try if courage and some favouring God will guide me to him; if not, I will die as near Heaven as I may attain. Tell me on thy part what thou wilt, and let me depart. If thou art indeed Zeus's enemy, thou wilt find enough on thy side down yonder." "I have been Zeus's enemy," returned the stranger, mildly and gravely, "I am so no longer.
Good: terra firma. You had better sit down somewhere here on the Areopagus, in the direction of the Pnyx, and wait whilst I make Zeus's proclamation. I shall go up into the Acropolis; that will be the easiest way of making every one hear the summons. Just. Before you go, Hermes, tell me who this is coming along; a man with horns and a pipe and shaggy legs. Her.
But I also got a sly taste of ambrosia and nectar; good-natured Ganymede, as often as he saw that Zeus's attention was engaged elsewhere, brought round the nectar and indulged me with a half- pint or so. During dinner, Apollo harped, Silenus danced his wild measures, the Muses uprose and sang to us from Hesiod's Birth of Gods, and the first of Pindar's odes.
There he made the gold and ivory statue of Zeus that you shall see in Zeus's temple. That workshop will stay there many a year, I think, for people to love because so great a thing was done there." "Is it so wonderful?" asked Charmides. "When it was finished," Glaucon answered solemnly, "Phidias stood before it and prayed to Zeus to tell him whether it pleased the god.
S. "But man's conception thereof, it has been agreed, would be certainly less perfect than Zeus's?" A. "It would." S. "Man, then, it seems, would always conceive God to be less just than God conceives himself to be?" A. "He would." S. "And therefore to be less just, according to the argument, than he really is?" A. "True."
In a complimentary picture of Agamemnon, there is nothing against his having Zeus's head and eyes, his brother Posidon's chest, Ares's belt in fact, the son of Atreus and Aerope will naturally be an epitome of all Divinity; Zeus or Posidon or Ares could not singly or severally provide the requisite perfections.
There is none of us he spares; he is as free with his tongue as a tub orator, And grips by turns the innocent and guilty. Mo. The innocent? You will not find many of those among us, Zeus. He will soon come to laying hands upon some of the great and eminent, I dare say. Ti. Do you close your ears even to Zeus's thunder, atheist? Da.
"Do not look For any end, moreover, to this curse, Or ere some god appear to bear thy pangs On his own head vicarious, and descend With unreluctant step the darks of hell, And the deep glooms enringing Tartarus! Then ponder this: the threat is not growth Of vain invention it is spoken and meant! For Zeus's mouth is impotent to lie, And doth complete the utterance in the act.
Flamininus especially prided himself on having liberated the Greeks, and when he dedicated at Delphi silver shields and his own Roman buckler, he wrote upon them the following verses: "To you, the Twins, delighting in the chase, Great Zeus's sons, of Sparta's royal race, This offering gives the Roman Titus, he Who set the children of fair Hellas free."
