Human Relationship To Gods

“

The gods, likening themselves to all kinds of strangers, go in various disguises from city to city, observing the wrongdoing and the righteousness of men.

Homer

“

So it is that the gods do not give all men gifts of grace—neither good looks nor intelligence nor eloquence.

Homer

“

All men have need of the gods.

Homer

“

Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.

Homer

“

Imagine then, by miracle, with me,
(Ambiguous gifts, as what gods give must be)
What could not possibly be there,
And learn a style from a despair.

William Empson

“

Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with gods.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

“

It was built against the will of the immortal gods, and so it did not last for long.

Homer
