A Wedding Invitation


Greetings, Oh gods and goddesses! Our friend Peleus has great counsel; He is leading the nymph Thetis in marriage. Therefore, you all are being called by me, Jupiter, to Thessaly. Expect good games and pleasant feasts. However, you all ought to be advised away from this posterior: 1. Because Peleus is a mortal, his soul will be frightened if we seem strong; 2. That he intends to come without gifts, I will chastise. Choose the class of the gift which they will praise for all of which they will see.
You alone, goddess Discordia, are not being summoned, for you are loving none. If you will come, all gods in Olympus will be moved with anger. Discord among friends ought not to be tolerated.
They will be given penalty from the very same god which will neglect his duty.
