Who Hearkens To The Gods, The Gods

The Stars Never Lie, But The Astrologers Lie About The Stars.

I Would Rather Be Tied To The Soil As A Serf... Than Be King Of All These Dead And Destroyed.

All Deaths Are Hateful To Miserable Mortals, But The Most Pitiable Death Of All Is To Starve.

For I Am Yearning To Visit The Limits Of The All-nurturing Earth, And Oceans, From Whom The Gods Are Sprung.

Life Is Not To Be Bought With Heaps Of Gold; Not All Apollo's Pythian Treasures Hold, Or Troy Once Held, In Peace And Pride Of Sway, Can Bribe The Poor Possession Of The Day.
