Hera to Zeus · divine
The Iliad 19.107–111
whoso this day shall fall between a woman's feet, even one of those men who are of the blood of thy stock.’ So spake she; howbeit Zeus in no wise marked her craftiness, but sware a great oath, and therewithal was blinded sore.
ψευστήσεις, οὐδʼ αὖτε τέλος μύθῳ ἐπιθήσεις. εἰ δʼ ἄγε νῦν μοι ὄμοσσον Ὀλύμπιε καρτερὸν ὅρκον, μὲν τὸν πάντεσσι περικτιόνεσσιν ἀνάξειν ὅς κεν ἐπʼ ἤματι τῷδε πέσῃ μετὰ ποσσὶ γυναικὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν οἳ σῆς ἐξ αἵματός εἰσι γενέθλης.
