People talk about "the stroke of Zeus."From a hint in Heraclitus Seminar, P. 31.
Trace the meaning.
Zeus acts as Zeus ordains.
Do you think the gods ignore a man who steps on holy things?
That man is impious
whose daring goes beyond justice,
who packs his house with wealth in excess.
Now me, I'm a moderate person.
But a man of excess has no shelter.
He kicks the altar of Justice out of sight.
