Quote:
"Of all the creatures that breathe and walk on the earth
there is nothing more helpless than a man is,
of all the earth fosters; for he thinks that he will
never suffer misfortune in future days, while
gods grant him courage, and his knees have spring in them.
But when blessed gods bring sad days upon him,
against his will he must suffer it with enduring spirit.
For the mind in men upon the earth goes according to
the fortunes of the Father of Gods and Men,
day by day, bestows upon them.(18:130-137, The Odyssey)
