Zeus Scolding Ares (From Homer)

Zeus scolding Ares (from Homer's Iliad)

"You shifty hypocrite, don't come whining to me. I hate you
more than any other god on Olympus. Rivalry, war, fighting--
these are the breath of life to you. Your mother Hera too has
the same headstrong and ungovernable temper."

• From The Iliad by Homer (Chapter 5), translated by E. V. Rieu and edited by Peter Jones (Penguin Classics eition, 2014)
