TIMOCLES

Take care what you are doing, Damis, you miscreant! You are all but upsetting the very temples of the gods with your arguments, and their altars too.

DAMIS

Not all the altars, as far as I am concerned, Timocles; for what harm do they do if they are full of incense and sweet savour? But I should be glad to see the altars of Artemis among the Tauvians turned: completely upside down, those on which the maiden goddess used to enjoy such horrid feasts.

v.2.p.159
ZEUS

Where did he get this insufferable stuff that he is pouring out on us? He doesnt spare any of the gods, but speaks out like a fishwife and

Takes first one, then the other, the guiltless along with the guilty.
Iliad 15, 137.

MOMUS
