Spoken by Demeter (a Greek goddess) in the hymn:
“Humans are short-sighted, stupid, ignorant of the share of good or evil which is coming to them.”
- This quote is from the 7th century BCE Homeric Hymn to Demeter (approximately lines 255-260), translated by David G. Rice and John E. Stambaugh (Society of Biblical Literature Sources for Biblical Study, 1979).
