Yet with Hera I am not so angry, neither indignant, since it is ever her way to cross the commands that I give her.’ ( Iliad 8.402-6) ‘… will lame beneath the harness your fast-running horses, and hurl yourselves from the driver’s place, and smash your chariot; and not in the circle of ten returning years shall you be whole of the wounds where the stroke of the lightning hits you; so that you may know, grey-eyed goddess, when it is your father you fight with. … Yet with Hera he is not so angry, neither indignant, since it is ever her way to cross the commands that he gives her.’ ( Iliad 8.415-20, 422-3)
