Odyssey
Book 3, Line 130 by Samuel Butler (English)
"When however, we had sacked the city of Priam, and were setting sail in our ships as heaven had dispersed us, then Zeus saw fit to vex the Argives on their homeward voyage [ nostos ]; for they had not all been either wise or just [ dikaios ], and hence many came to a bad end through the displeasure [ mênis ] of Zeus' daughter Athena, who brought about a quarrel between the two sons of Atreus.
