Thetis presses Jove with her petition for Achilles. Jove responds:

To this the thunderer: "Seek not to find

The sacred counself of almight mind:

Involved in darkness lies the great decree,

Nor can the depths of fate be pierced by thee.

What fits they knowledge, thou the first shalt know;

The first of gods above, and men below;

But thou, not they, shall search the thoughts that roll

Deep in the close recesses of my soul."

Book I, Page 18, The Iliad
