Iliad two sceptres powr retited as gods will

'Twas thus the general voice the hero praised,

Who, rising, high the imperial sceptre raised:

The blue-eyed Pallas, his celestial friend,

(In form a herald,) bade the crowds attend.

The expecting crowds in still attention hung,

To hear the wisdom of his heavenly tongue.

Then deeply thoughtful, pausing ere he spoke,

His silence thus the prudent hero broke:

Here the hero exposes the trut; that heroes do the divine will and speak only in co operation to the divine and the way it causes earthly power to act.

That is the power and the authority base of the thrones scepter: it acts in accordance to divine will and speaks in divine tongue.
