6 μεν δη μέγας ήγεμών εν ουρανώ Ζευς, ελαυνων πτηνον άρμα,
πρώτος πορεύεται, διακόσμων πάντα και έπιμελούμενος ·
τω δ' έπεται στρατιά θεών τε και δαιμόνων ...
Now the great leader in heaven, Zeus, drives a winged chariot
and comes before all others, arranging and caring for all things.
After him follows a host of gods and other supernatural figures ...
Phaedrus 246E4-6
