Heracles, having been made a god, was feasting at Zeus’s table and greeting each of the gods with great warmth. But when Plutus, the god of wealth, came in last, Heracles lowered his eyes to the ground and turned away from him. Astonished at this, Zeus asked why, after greeting all the others so gladly, he looked askance at Plutus alone. Heracles replied, “I look askance at him because, when I lived among mortals, I saw him keeping company, for the most part, with wicked men.” This fable may be told of a man rich in fortune but wicked in character.
