Greetings, Oh gods and goddesses! Our friend Peleus has great plans; He is leading the nymph Thetis in
marriage. Therefore, you are being summoned by me, Jupiter, to Thessaly. Expect good games and sweet feasts.
However, you ought to be warned about these dangers: 1. Since Peleus is mortal, his mind will be frightened if
we shall seem excessively powerful; 2. Whoever dares to come without a gift will be scolded by me. Choose
the kinds of gifts which will be praised by all who will see them.
Only you, o goddess Discord, are not invited, for you are loved by no one. If you come, every god in
Olympus will be moved to anger. Among friends, discord ought not to be tolerated.
Penalties will be assigned by that god who neglects his own duty. Goodbye!
