Odyssey Line

“Oh, for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us Gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given. ” (Lattimore)

“Look you now, how ready mortals are to blame the gods. It is from us, they say, that evils come, but they even of themselves, through their own blind folly, have sorrows beyond that which is ordained.” (Murray)

“See now, how men lay blame upon us gods for what is after all nothing but their own folly.”

“This is absurd, that mortals blame the gods! They say we cause their suffering, but they themselves increase it by folly.” (Wilson)

1:32-34
