"Virgin Justice, Zeus' own daughter, Honored and revered among the Olympian gods ... Sits down by the Son of Kronos, her father, And speaks to him about men's unjust hearts Until the people pay for their foolhardy rulers' Unjust verdicts and biased decisions. Guard against this, you bribe-eating lords. Judge rightly. Forget your crooked deals."
