Safely it falls, and not upon its back, whatever deed comes to pass at Zeus’ nod; for the pathways of his understanding stretch dark and tangled,
beyond comprehension.
96
Chorus
From their high-towering hopes he hurls mankind to utter destruction; yet he does not marshal any armed violence—
all that is wrought by the powers divine is free from toil. Seated on his holy throne, unmoved, in mysterious ways he accomplishes his will.
104
Chorus
So let him look upon human outrageousness
