Iliad 1 way to dibine power

"Forbear (the progeny of Jove replies)

To calm thy fury I forsake the skies:

Let great Achilles, to the gods resign'd,

To reason yield the empire o'er his mind.

By awful Juno this command is given;

The king and you are both the care of heaven.

The force of keen reproaches let him feel;

But sheathe, obedient, thy revenging steel.

For I pronounce (and trust a heavenly power)

Thy injured honour has its fated hour,

When the proud monarch shall thy arms implores

And bribe thy friendship with a boundless store.

Then let revenge no longer bear the sway;

Command thy passions, and the gods obey."

The speaker then says we the progeny of Jove reply, like the child of Athena.  To end this rage I forsake heaven, which means he is willing to do anything even break the laws that would get him to heaven to complete the task that enrages him.  Let Achilles so be with the gods, with reason bow to the empire of the mind, but by Juno the command is given not for those who dream of perfect cities but to those who must do the dirty work to make such cities work.  The king and you are in heavens safety and thus not of this dirty deed doers.  May you feel the arta and arêtes of heaven and know their guard over your actions.  May thy revenge be of sheathed steel, not of the blade but of divine grace and wrath. It is by heavenly power that your revenge will come, as the evil doers time is limited.   When one resorts to arms and violence or to bribing, then revenge is not sought as one causes as much injury and injustice as you suffers. By controlling ones passions and being a good person , not bribing for friendships by stores of riches you might not have or desire to spend , bribing itself is as petty as those who resort to violence to resolve a pained honour, one has all heavens power on your side exacting revenge for you, you do not need to lift a figure or spend a dime, now that’s power, so be good so that you take advantage of the powers of heaven and not your enemies, if bno one wants to fight then everyone wins in the compromise and no one gets hurt.  Bribing makes fake friends.  Heaven always rules on the side of the just and virtuous.
