Ruin, eldest daughter of Zeus, she blinds us all, that fatal madnessโshe with those delicate feet of hers, never touching the earth, gliding over the heads of men to trap us all. She entangles one man, now another.
HomerReproach is infinite, and knows no end So voluble a weapon is the tongue; Wounded, we wound; and neither side can fail For every man has equal strength to rail.
Homer
