...Perses, hear me out on justice, and take what I have to say to heart; cease thinking of violence. For the son of Kronos, Zeus, has ordained this law to men: that fishes and wild beasts and winged birds should devour one another, since there is no justice in them; but to mankind he gave justice which proves for the best.
HesiodHe is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man; for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace.
Hesiod
