Pythia 4, 272 — 274:
ῥᾴδιον μὲν γὰρ πόλιν σεῖσαι καὶ ἀφαυροτέροις:
ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ χώρας αὖτις ἕσσαι δυσπαλὲς δὴ γίγνεται, ἐξαπίνας
εἰ μὴ θεὸς ἁγεμόνεσσι κυβερνατὴρ γένηται.
Steven Willet: “It’s easy for the almost impotent/ to shake a city; / to set it back in place again / is grinding conflict,/ unless a god will suddenly/ become a steersman for its leaders.”
