The only freedom the gods grant us is this: to submit of our own free will to their sovereignty. We should do just that, since only in the illusion of freedom - Does freedom exist.

It is what the gods, subject
to eternal fate,
do to maintain their calm and
unwavering ancient conviction 
that their life is divine and free.
Imitating the gods.

Who are no freer on Olympus
than we are,
let's build our lives like those
who build castles of sand to
delight their eyes,
and the gods will know how
to thank us for being so like
them...
