No, Hesiod’: your defence will not do; nor will your prophecies. But I dare say there is something in what you said at firstthat you knew not what you wrote, by reason of the divine afflatus versifying within you. And that afflatus was no such great matter, either: afflatuses should not promise more than they mean to perform.
