Ζεύς καλοῦμαι, τῶν θεῶν πατήρ, δεσπότης Ὀλύμπιος. υἵος Τιτάνων, γεννήτης τῶν ἀνθρώπων. μέγιστός εἰμι πάντων τῶν θεῶν. ἄρχω εὔνως καὶ δὲ δικαίως πάντα γὲ ὡρῶν καὶ διαλάμπων. ὁ νοῦς δὲ μού πέρ ἐστιν ὀρθός. τάττω χωρίς γε ἄλλων βροντῇ καὶ δὲ κεραυνῷ πῦρ οὐράνιον. μῆ ὠργίσθητέ με. σφάλλω ὑμᾶς. δεινή (φοβερά) ἡ ὀργή μού ἐστιν. ​

I am Zeus, Father of Gods, Master of Olympus. Son of titans, Father of mankind. I am the sovereign God. My rule is generous and just Omniscient and enlightened. My mind is unclouded. I dominate alone With lightning and thunder A heavenly fire. Do not anger me. I will make you stagger. My wrath is tremendous. ​

Ἅιδης καλοῦμαι, τοῦ κάτω θεός οὐδεῖς μοῦ τῆν βασιλείαν λείπει. βαδίζω μετὰ τῶν δὲ νεκρῶν. τοὺς ζωοὺς φεύγω. ἄρχω σκληρῶς. ἡ βασιλεία μοῦ πρὸς ἑσπέραν κεῖται καὶ δὲ πέραν γε τοῦ ὠκεανοῦ οὗ καταδύεται ὁ ἥλιος. πόλλας περ ἐπωνυμίας τοὶ ἔχω, ἀδάμαστος ἔπειτα καλοῦμαι. εὐδοκιμῶ τῇ δυνάμει. οὐδεμία δ᾿ ἁναχώρησις καί ἔξοδος οὐδείς ἐστιν. ἄρχων τοῦ γὰρ Ἅιδης εἰμί. ​

I am Hades God of the Underworld No one can leave my Realm of Shadows I walk among the dead I avoid the living I rule unrelentingly My realm is located in the West Beyond the oceans Where the sun goes down I have many names The Untamed I am called My power is notorious There is no return There is no way out I am the Lord of the Dead​
