ZEUS

So far you’re right, but what’s to follow? For I think what you say will prove true.

PROMETHEUS

Have nothing to do with that daughter of Nereus, for if she brings you a child, Cf. Pindar, Isthmians, 7.27 and Aeschylus, P.V. 907 ff. it will treat you just as you treated— 10

ZEUS

Do you mean that I’ll be cast out of my kingdom? A reference to Zeus’ dethronement of his father Cronos. Cf. On Sacrifices 5 and Zeus Catechized 8.

PROMETHEUS

I hope not, Zeus, but something of the sort threatens if you tamper with her.

ZEUS

Goodbye, then, to Thetis; and you, Prometheus, must be released by Hephaestus for this.

Eros And Zeus

EROS

Even if I have done something wrong, Zeus, please forgive me, for I’m only a child, and still without sense.

ZEUS

You a child, you Eros, who are far older than Iapetus Cf. Hesiod, Theogony, 120 and 134, and, for the proverbial expression, p. 293. ! Just because you have no heard or grey hairs, do you really think you should be considered a babe in arms, you old villain?

EROS

What great harm have I, old villain as you call me, done you, that you even think of putting me in chains?
