Headword: Theos
Adler number: theta,180
Translated headword: god
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Aristophanes [writes]: "when one of [the] gods does harm, not even a strong man could escape."[1] Similar to this [is] the saying of Pindar: "a god found even the winged eagle, and overtakes the sea-faring dolphin."[2]
And [there is] a proverb: 'shamelessness [is] a god'. This is said against those who help someone through shamelessness. Shamelessness used to be honored at Athens, and there was a shrine for her, as Istros [says] in [book] 14.[3]
