| νήπιός εἰς, ὦ ξεῖν', ἢ τηλόθεν εἰλήλουθας, ὅς με θεοὺς κέλεαι ἢ δειδίμεν ἢ ἀλέασθαι· οὐ γὰρ Κύκλωπες Διὸς αἰγιόχου ἀλέγουσιν οὐδὲ θεῶν μακάρων, ἐπεὶ ἦ πολὺ φέρτεροί εἰμεν· |
| Stranger, you're a fool, or else you aren't from round here as you tell me to fear or avoid the gods. We Cyclopes don't worry about aegis-bearing Zeus or the blessed gods - we are better than them by far. |
| Homer Odyssey 9.273 |
