CHORUS: Many are the forms of what is unknown.
   Much that the gods achieve is surprise.
   What we look for does not come to pass;
   God finds a way for what none foresaw.
   Such was the end of this story.

[ΧΟΡΟΣ: πολλαὶ μορφαὶ τῶν δαιμονίων,
   πολλὰ δ᾽ ἀέλπτως κραίνουσι θεοί:
   καὶ τὰ δοκηθέντ᾽ οὐκ ἐτελέσθη,
   τῶν δ᾽ ἀδοκήτων πόρον ηὗρε θεός.
   τοιόνδ᾽ ἀπέβη τόδε πρᾶγμα.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 1688ff, final lines (412 BC) [tr. Lattimore (1956)]

KING RICHARD: Not all the water in the rough rude sea
   Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.
   The breath of worldly men cannot depose
   The deputy elected by the Lord.
   For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
   To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
   God for His Richard hath in heavenly pay
   A glorious angel. Then, if angels fight,
   Weak men must fall, for heaven still guards the right.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 55ff (3.2.55) (1595)

A quotation from Homer

For who could see the passage of a goddess
Unless she wished his mortal eyes aware?

[τίς ἂν θεὸν οὐκ ἐθέλοντα
ὀφθαλμοῖσιν ἴδοιτ᾽ ἢ ἔνθ᾽ ἢ ἔνθα κιόντα]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 10, l. 575ff (10.575-576) [Odysseus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Fitzgerald (1961)]

   As the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to Jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into a village in Samaria to get everything ready for him. But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem.
   When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”
   Jesus turned and rebuked them. Then Jesus and his disciples went on to another village.

   [Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς τὸ πρόσωπον ἐστήρισεν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσῆλθον εἰς κώμην Σαμαριτῶν ὡς ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
   ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης εἶπαν, Κύριε, θέλεις εἴπωμεν πῦρ καταβῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀναλῶσαι αὐτούς;
   στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην.]
