Theseus: My advice is this: be patient, suffer
What you must, and do not yield to grief.
Fate exempts no man; all men are flawed,
And so the gods, unless the poets lie.
Do not the gods commit adultery?
Have they not cast their fathers into chains,
In pursuit of power?
Yet all the same,
Despite their crimes, they live upon Olympus.
How dare you then, mortal that you are,
To protest your fate, when the gods do not?
