Γάλα ὀρνίθων

[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who enjoy excessively good fortune and have acquired everything. Or to things which are scarce. He is saying, we will provide those benefits which are scarce and difficult to find, "so that it will be possible for you to grow weary from good things."¹ That is, you are likely to become worn out in surfeit of good things; thus you will all be wealthy. Aristophanes in Birds [writes]: "we will give you [...] health-and-wealth,² good fortune, peace, youth, laughter, choruses, festivities, and birds' milk, so that it will be possible for you to grow weary from good things."
