You tell me to put all my trust in birds who flutter by. But birds are meaningless! I do not worry about them at all, whether they fly towards the sun and dawn, 240 eastward to right of us, or westward, left, 290 towards the darkness. Let us trust instead the plan of mighty Zeus who rules us all, the lord of mortals and immortal gods. Patriotism is the one true bird.
