Δεῖμος καὶ φόβος καὶ Κυδοιμός, ὑπηρέται τοῦ Ἄρεως, υἱοὶ τοῦ πολέμου· οἳ καὶ αὐτοὶ συμπεπόνθασι τῷ Ἄρει, τοῦ Ἡφαίστου αὐτοὺς μὴ φοβηθέντος.

Notes (1)
- From a scholium to Gregory of Nazianzus, Oration 5 in PG 35.705a. The allusion is presumably to the episode in Homer, Odyssey 8, where Hephaestus takes his revenge for being cuckolded by Ares and Aphrodite.↩
- 1For Din of War, Kydoimos, see again kappa 2622.
