[484b] dawns the full light of natural justice. And it seems to me that Pindar adds his evidence to what I say, in the ode where he says—

“Law the sovereign of all,
Mortals and immortals,
”
Pind. Fr. 169 (Bergk)

which, so he continues,—

“Carries all with highest hand,
Justifying the utmost force: in proof I take
The deeds of Hercules, for unpurchased
”
Pind. Fr. 169 (Bergk)

—the words are something like that—I do not know the poem well—but it tells how he drove off the cows
