[Disciple of the Serpent]

Which ones are you favorite verses in mythology?

I'm curious to see... I think it will be an interesting Thread.

 

[Disciple of the Serpent]

Odysee 1, 32-34:

"Ah, how shamelessly mortals blame the Gods!
For they say evils come from us,
whereas they themselves, through their own folly, suffer beyond what is ordained".

From Lord Zeus, a real building block of logic and wisdom.

 

[Helleniser]

The Iliad, Book XXII

Achilles, musing as he roll'd his eyes

O'er the dead hero, thus unheard, replies:

"Die thou the first! When Jove and heaven ordain,

I follow thee"—He said, and stripp'd the slain.
