She stirs up even the shiftless to toil for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order and neighbour vies with his neighbour as he hurries after wealth. ( Nyx), and the son of Cronus who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due.
