“Night, harden thy heart relentlessly, send forth frenzy upon him, confound his mind … that he may learn to know how fiercely against him the wrath of Hera burns and may also experience mine; otherwise, if he escape punishment, the gods will become as naught, while man’s power will grow.”
~ ‘Heracles Mad’ by Euripides (Edward P. Coleridge translation. GB5 - p. 372)
