Hera to Athena · divine
The Iliad 21.420–422
Out upon it, thou child of Zeus that beareth the aegis, unwearied one, lo, there again the dog-fly is leading Ares, the bane of mortals, forth from the fury of war amid the throng; nay, have after her. So spake she, and Athene sped in pursuit, glad at heart, and rushing upon her she smote Aphrodite on the breast with her stout hand;
πόποι αἰγιόχοιο Διὸς τέκος Ἀτρυτώνη καὶ δʼ αὖθʼ κυνάμυια ἄγει βροτολοιγὸν Ἄρηα δηΐου ἐκ πολέμοιο κατὰ κλόνον· ἀλλὰ μέτελθε.
