_Zeus_. Nay, fear not that; Hell threatens not the Gods.
_Hera_. What can the matter be, then? To hear you, one mightthink it was Polus or Aristodemus, not Zeus; and why, pray, ifsomething of that sort is not bothering you?
_Zeus_. My dear, a discussion somehow arose yesterday betweenTimocles the Stoic and Damis the Epicurean; there was a numerousand respectable audience (which particularly annoyed me), and theyhad an argument on the subject of Providence. Damis questioned theexistence of the G...ods, and utterly denied their interest in orgovernment of events, while Timocles, good man, did his best tochampion our cause. A great crowd gathered round; but no conclusionwas reached. They broke up with an understanding that the inquiryshould be completed another day; and now they are all agog to seewhich will win and prove his case. You all see how parlous andprecarious is our position, depending on a single mortal. These arethe alternatives for us: to be dismissed as mere empty names, or(if Timocles prevails) to enjoy our customary honours.
