The Iliad 14.300

The Iliad 14.300
Then with crafty mind the queenly Hera spake unto him: I am faring to visit the limits of the all-nurturing earth, and Oceanus, from whom the gods are sprung, and mother Tethys, even them that lovingly nursed me and cherished me in their halls. Them am I faring to visit, and will loose for them their endless strife,since now for long time's apace they hold aloof one from the other from the marriage-bed and from love, for that wrath hath fallen upon their hearts. And my horses stand at the foot of many-fountained Ida, my horses that shall bear me both over the solid land and the waters of the sea. But now it is because of thee that I am come hither down from Olympus,lest haply thou mightest wax wroth with me hereafter, if without a word I depart to the house of deep-flowing Oceanus.
τὸν δὲ δολοφρονέουσα προσηύδα πότνια Ἥρη·
