οὕτω δ’ ἐχόντων εἰκὸς τοῖς μὲν πολεμίοις ἐναντίους εἶναι τοὺς θεούς, ἡμῖν δὲ συμμάχους οἵπερ ἱκανοί εἰσι καὶ τοὺς μεγάλους ταχὺ μικροὺς ποιεῖν καὶ τοὺς μικροὺς κἂν ἐν δεινοῖς ὦσι σῴζειν εὐπετῶς, ὅταν βούλωνται
Given that this is the case, it is reasonable to think that the gods will be opposed to our enemies, and on our side. The gods are capable of making the mighty weak, and of protecting the weak even if they are in danger whenever they want.
Xenophon Anabasis 3.2.10
