Zeus

Bards do not make the ills they sing of.

It is Jove, not they, who makes them, and who sends weal or woe upon mankind according to his own good pleasure.

This fellow means no harm by singing the ill-fated return of the Danaans.

For people always applaud the latest songs most warmly.

But in the morning meet me in full assembly, that I may give you formal notice to depart.

And feast at one another's houses, turn and turn about at your own cost.

If, on the other hand, you choose to persist in sponging upon one man, heaven help me, but Jove shall reckon with you in full.

And when you fall in my father's house, there shall be no man to avenge you.
