The Nemesis whom I will recall to-day, while angry Zeus is hurling his thunderbolts, is the other, who chastises sacrilege-Ate, the swiftest and most terrible of the Erinyes.
"The Complete Historical Romances of Georg Ebers"
Georg Ebers
Yes, Adeimantus, they are stories not to be repeated in our State; the young man should not be told that in committing the worst of crimes he is far from doing anything outrageous; and that even if he chastises his father when does wrong, in whatever manner, he will only be following the example of the first and greatest among the gods.
"Plato's Republic"
Plato
For it is the mysterious and unexplained dispensation that: "Mostly heaven chastises we."
