γηρύετʼ ἀνθρώπων ἄδικον νόον, ὄφρʼ ἀποτίσῃBroad armies to destruction or will bid


δῆμος ἀτασθαλίας βασιλέων, οἳ λυγρὰ νοεῦντεςThem of their walls and take their ships away.


ἄλλῃ παρκλίνωσι δίκας σκολιῶς ἐνέποντες.Lords, note this punishment. The gods are nigh


ταῦτα φυλασσόμενοι, βασιλῆς, ἰθύνετε †δίκαςThose mortals who from adulation stray


δωροφάγοι, σκολιέων δὲ δικέων ἐπὶ πάγχυ λάθεσθε.And grind folk down with fraud. Yes, from on high


οἷ γʼ αὐτῷ κακὰ τεύχει ἀνὴρ ἄλλῳ κακὰ τεύχωνFull thirty-thousand gods of Zeus exist


ἡ δὲ κακὴ βουλὴ τῷ βουλεύσαντι κακίστη.Upon the fecund earth who oversee


πάντα ἰδὼν Διὸς ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ πάντα νοήσαςAll men and wander far, enclosed in mist


καί νυ τάδʼ, αἴ κʼ ἐθέλῃσʼ, ἐπιδέρκεται, οὐδέ ἑ λήθειAnd watch for law-suits and iniquity.


οἵην δὴ καὶ τήνδε δίκην πόλις ἐντὸς ἐέργει.Justice is one, daughter of Zeus, a maid

The whole air is full of souls which are called genii or heroes; these are they who send men dreams and signs of future disease and health, and not to men alone, but to sheep also and cattle as well; and it is to them that purifications and lustrations, all divination, omens and the like, have reference. The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or to evil. Blest are the men who acquire a good soul; they can never be at rest, nor ever keep the same course two days together.
