Quotes:

Zeus: For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea, a fresh breeze and each other. The girl is pretty and I am always sentimental. But for Jason, there are other adventures. I have not finished with Jason. Let us continue the game another day.

Zeus: If I had to punish *every* blasphemy, I would have *no followers*!

Zeus: The gods are best served by those who need their help the *least*.

Phineas: Zeus, I was a sinner. I've never tried to deny it. But I didn't sin every day. Why then do you punish me *every day*?

Phineas: Go ahead, Zeus. Throw down a thunderbolt, let the earth swallow me up. I defy you!::[Loud crash of thunder]::Phineas: You can growl away all you like, Zeus. I mean what I say.

Hera: [asked why the gods set temptations and traps for mortals] So that the gods may know them, and men may know themselves.

Jason: Now the voyage is over, I don't want any trouble to begin::Polydeuces: There won't be any trouble, Jason. Just tell us where the city is and when we attack.::Jason: We don't attack.::Polydeuces: But that's foolish, you have the finest fighting men in the world.::Jason: 40 fighting men against a nation?::Phalerus: Better forty than one Jason.::Jason: We're not *pirates*, Phalerus.::Acastus: What's that girl done to you? We thought you were a fighting man.::Jason: I'm going up alone in the morning. See what the situation is.::Polydeuces: Oh, you mean spy out the land. Well, why alone? Why not take a few of us scouting.::Jason: The fewer who go, the less can get caught. Now what's the fewest you can think of?::Polydeuces: One, of course.::Jason: Right. I accept your advice.

Zeus: Hera my dear, You really *must* learn to win without cheating... or to at least lose *gracefully*.

Argos: Pray to the gods, Jason!::Jason: The gods of Greece are cruel! In time, all men shall learn to live without them.
