Odyssey
Book 13, Line 139 by Samuel Butler (English)
And Zeus answered, "What, O Lord of the Earthquake, are you talking about? The gods are by no means wanting in respect for you. It would be monstrous were they to insult one so old and honored as you are. As regards mortals, however, if any of them is indulging in insolence [ biê ] and treating you disrespectfully, it will always rest with yourself to deal with him as you may think proper, so do just as you please."
