Iliad 1 God(s) authority

'Tis mine to threaten, prince, and thine to fear.
Know, if the god the beauteous dame demand,
My bark shall waft her to her native land;
But then prepare, imperious prince! prepare,
Fierce as thou art, to yield thy captive fair:
Even in thy tent I'll seize the blooming prize,
Thy loved Briseis with the radiant eyes.
Hence shalt thou prove my might, and curse the hour
Thou stood'st a rival of imperial power;
And hence, to all our hosts it shall be known,
That kings are subject to the gods alone."

    Now reference is made to Briseis and her departure home  to the  safety of her origin kingdom ( Kuzdom).  The vow includes an oath and affirmation to the authority of the king , obeyed with fear of punishment.  Kings, as all people are subject to the will of gods ( is that gods like Socrates?).  Is it begging the question to ask are kings only subject to the will of gods?  What of their mates, family, elders or parents?  How about good advisors? 
    It is true that in the hierarchy of power and authority Godthit ( God/Goddess) holds the highest position .  Godthet has hegemony and final say over all people; peasant and kus(kings). Where the peasant lacks authority over the authorit (Monarch) Godsthet is the higher authority , always, and it is Godthet’s will that dictates the laws for the authorit.  God is in control and command, as exemplified with the ten commandments.  Divine will or religious faith drawn from the necessity of laws govern based on universal categorical morals that keeps even authorits in line.  This maintained of the moral fabric of society and authority  is not only due to fear of punishment but is also due to  duty based on the social and cultural forces endemic and systemicised that control, influence  and govern the way all people behave,  Kings that break the law are arrested and impeached, and those laws that monitor even king and politician behaviours are reflective of the laws of the people and ultimately and truly, at that hegemonic height  of the ultimate top one person, Godthit.
