it's worse than i thought

OK. I can't let this rest.

So maybe,
just maybe
Homer's Achilles
can talk like a
whiny worm man,

but ZEUS?

The Iliad, Book Eight, 1-12 Translated by Michael Reck
(I've cut the mediocre parts, and left you with the "best" of the worst.)

Thunderlord Zeus summoned a meeting...
and delivered the following harangue:
"Listen here, all you gods and goddesses...
none of you gentleman or lady gods
dare go against me--do as I say...
If I should see anyone sneaking off...
I'll smash him with my awful thunderbolt..."
