οἷον ὁ Ζεὺς τεθυμωμένος τῇ Ἥρᾳ διὰ τὴν ἀπάτην καὶ τὴν ἧτταν τῶν Τρώων, καὶ πρότερον Ἥρα πρὸς τὴν Ἀφροδίτην, παρακαλοῦσα φαρμάξαι τὸν πατέρα καὶ δοῦναι τὸ φίλτρον αἰτῇ, τὸν κεστὸν ἱμάντα, ὡς εἰκός, ἐν ἀπορρήτῳ τοῦτο ἀξιοῦσα. οὐδὲ γὰρ τῶν ἀνθρώπων εἰκὸς ἄλλον τινὰ εἰδέναι τὰ τοιαῦτα, ἀνδρὸς καὶ γυναικὸς διαφερομένων καὶ λοιδορούντων ἐνίοτε ἀλλήλους. καὶ τὸν Ὀδυσσέα πεποίηκεν ἐπανορθούμενον τὸ τοιοῦτο, μὴ δόξῃ ἀλαζὼν διηγούμενος τοὺς παρὰ τοῖς θεοῖς γενομένους ὑπὲρ αὑτοῦ λόγους. ἔφη γὰρ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς Καλυψοῦς, ἐκείνην δὲπαρά του πυθέσθαι· περὶ αὑτοῦ δὲ οὐδὲν τοιοῦτον εἴρηκεν ὅτι πύθοιτο παρὰ θεοῦ τινος.
