Verse
Iliad
Book 1, Line 420 by Samuel Butler (English)
nevertheless I will go to the snowy heights of Olympus , and tell this tale to Zeus, if he will hear our prayer: meanwhile stay where you are with your ships, nurse your anger [ mênis ] against the Achaeans, and hold aloof from fight. For Zeus went yesterday to Okeanos, to a feast among the Ethiopians, and the other gods went with him.
