For know that no one is free, except Zeus.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true freedom is an exclusive attribute of Zeus, the supreme god in Greek mythology.

This statement could inspire reflection on the inherent constraints and limitations that govern human existence, suggesting that absolute freedom is unattainable for mortals, while reserved only for divine beings.

You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice.
