They Deserved It
Homer, Odyssey 23.65-67 (tr. Peter Green):
Newer› ‹Older
For they had no respect for any dwellers upon this earth
whether high or low, whoever might come among them;
so they've come to grief through their own mad folly.
οὔ τινα γὰρ τίεσκον ἐπιχθονίων ἀνθρώπων,
οὐ κακὸν οὐδὲ μὲν ἐσθλόν, ὅτις σφέας εἰσαφίκοιτο·
τῷ δι' ἀτασθαλίας ἔπαθον κακόν.
