Sostratus

Observe then your injustice! You punish us who are but the slaves of Clothos bidding, and reward these, who do but minister to anothers beneficence. For it will never be said that it was in our power to gainsay the irresistible ordinances of Fate?

v.1.p.156
Minos

Ah, Sostratus; look closely enough, and you will find plenty of inconsistencies besides these. However, I see you are no common pirate, but a philosopher in your way; so much you have gained by your questions. Let him go, Hermes; he shall not be punished after that. But mind, Sostratus, you must not put it into other peoples heads to ask questions of this kind.
