I'm doing a greek mythology project, and we have to write a paper. I choose to start with a quote, but I can't find a good one. Please help.

Why not: "It was built against the will of the immortal gods, and so it did not last for long."
Or: "Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen."
Homer

Molon Lave. (Come and claim it)
Leonidas, King of Sparta, at the Thermopylae, before the battle.
Tan i epi tas. (Return) Winner or on a shield (dead). Spartan Quote.
Those quotes are from greek history, there are not many in greek mythology. Check in Aesop myths, there are many there but those legends are tales for kids.
My favorite of all time is : Only the dead have seen the end of the war. I think it was said by Plato.
