Hera to Zeus · divine
The Iliad 5.757–763
while at their ease Cypris and Apollo of the silver bow take their joy, having set on this madman that regardeth not any law? Father Zeus, wilt thou in any wise be wroth with me if I smite Ares in sorry fashion and drive him out of the battle?
Ζεῦ πάτερ οὐ νεμεσίζῃ Ἄρῃ τάδε καρτερὰ ἔργα
ὁσσάτιόν τε καὶ οἷον ἀπώλεσε λαὸν Ἀχαιῶν
μὰψ ἀτὰρ οὐ κατὰ κόσμον ἐμοὶ δʼ ἄχος, οἳ δὲ ἕκηλοι
τέρπονται Κύπρίς τε καὶ ἀργυρότοξος Ἀπόλλων
ἄφρονα τοῦτον ἀνέντες, ὃς οὔ τινα οἶδε θέμιστα;
Ζεῦ πάτερ ἦ ῥά τί μοι κεχολώσεαι, αἴ κεν Ἄρηα
λυγρῶς πεπληγυῖα μάχης ἐξαποδίωμαι;
