Glaucus son of Epicydes, it is more profitable nowTo prevail by your oath and seize the money.Swear, for death awaits even the man who swears true.But Oath has a son, nameless; he is without handsOr feet, but he pursues swiftly, until he catchesAnd destroys all the family and the entire house.The line of a man who swears true is better later on. When Glaucus heard this, he entreated the god to pardon him for what he had said. The priestess answered that to tempt the god and to do the deed had the same effect.
