Hesiod, Works And Days, 270-279

νῦν δὴ ἐγὼ μήτʼ αὐτὸς ἐν ἀνθρώποισι δίκαιος

Who is renowned among the gods who dwell

εἴην μήτʼ ἐμὸς υἱός· ἐπεὶ κακὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον

High in Olympus: should someone upbraid

ἔμμεναι, εἰ μείζω γε δίκην ἀδικώτερος ἕξει·

Her cruelly, immediately she’ll tell

ἀλλὰ τά γʼ οὔ πω ἔολπα τελεῖν Δία μητιόεντα.

Lord Zeus, there at his side, of men who cause

ὦ Πέρση, σὺ δὲ ταῦτα μετὰ φρεσὶ βάλλεο σῇσι

Much woe till people pay a penalty

καὶ νυ δίκης ἐπάκουε, βίης δʼ ἐπιλήθεο πάμπαν.

For unjust lords, who cruelly bend the law

τόνδε γὰρ ἀνθρώποισι νόμον διέταξε Κρονίων

For evil. You who hold supremacy

ἰχθύσι μὲν καὶ θηρσὶ καὶ οἰωνοῖς πετεηνοῖς

And swallow bribes, beware of this and shun

ἐσθέμεν ἀλλήλους, ἐπεὶ οὐ δίκη ἐστὶ μετʼ αὐτοῖς·

All crooked laws and deal in what is best.

ἀνθρώποισι δʼ ἔδωκε δίκην, ἣ πολλὸν ἀρίστη

Who hurts another hurts himself. When one
