Zeus

Well, then, string a lot of Homer's verses together in your summons, and convene us as he used. Of course you remember them.

Hermes

I can't say that I have them very pat. However, I will try: Gods and goddesses all, let none fail to answer my summons. Let not a single nymph or river-god, save only Ocean, Tarry; but haste ye all to the council that Jove hath appointed. All are bidden who feast at the hecatomb's glorious banquet, All, e'en of low degree, or lowest; yea, even the nameless, Seeing they too have a seat by the altars smoking with victims.

Zeus

Well done, Hermes. You could not have summoned them better, and the proof is that they are gathering already. So, receive them and seat them according to the value of each in material or workmanship; that is to say, the golden in the seats of honor, next to these the silver ones, then those of ivory, then those of bronze or stone; and in this class preference is to be given to the works of Pheidias and Alkamenes and Myron and Euphranor and artists of their rank. But thrust these vulgar ones, the work of bunglers, together on one side, and let them confine themselves to silently making a quorum.
