The naïve exclamation, with which the oracle's words in ch. 220. 4 may be compared, was used by Gorgias in an oration with an attempt at pathos Ξέρξης τῶν Περσῶν Ζεύς, Longin. de Subl. 3. 2.

πάντας: for similar exaggerations cf. ch. 157. 1; Aesch. Pers. 718Ξέρξης κενώσας πᾶσαν ἠπείρου πλάκα”. Cf. ib. 12.
