Hesiod, Works And Days, 10-15

τύνη· ἐγὼ δέ κε, Πέρση, ἐτήτυμα μυθησαίμην.

For, Perses, I would tell the truth to you.

οὐκ ἄρα μοῦνον ἔην Ἐρίδων γένος, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ γαῖαν

Not one, but two Strifes live on earth: when these

εἰσὶ δύω· τὴν μέν κεν ἐπαινέσσειε νοήσας

Are known, one’s praised, one blamed, because these two

ἣ δʼ ἐπιμωμητή· διὰ δʼ ἄνδιχα θυμὸν ἔχουσιν.

Far differ. For the one makes foul war thrive

ἣ μὲν γὰρ πόλεμόν τε κακὸν καὶ δῆριν ὀφέλλει

The wretch, unloved of all, but the gods on high

σχετλίη· οὔτις τήν γε φιλεῖ βροτός, ἀλλʼ ὑπʼ ἀνάγκης

Gave the decree that every man alive
