ZEUS 
It is most equitable, Momus; so let everyone who is
in favour of the resolution hold up his hand—but
no! I declare it carried, as those who will not vote
for it will be the majority, I know. Well, you may
go now; but when Hermes makes the proclamation,
present yourselves, and let each of you bring unmistakable means of identification and clear proofs—
his father’s name and his mother’s, why and how he
became a god, and his tribe and clan. For if anyone
shall fail to put all this in evidence, it will make no
difference to the deputies that he has a huge temple
on earth and that men believe him to be a god.
