Zeus, Prometheus, and Athena had each made something—Zeus a bull, Prometheus a man, and Athena a house—and chose Momus to judge their work. But Momus, envious of their creations, found fault with them all. Zeus, he said, had made a mistake in not placing the bull’s eyes on its horns, so that it could see where it struck. Prometheus had erred by not hanging the man’s mind on the outside, so that wicked people could not escape detection, with everyone revealing whatever thoughts they harbored. Third, he said that Athena ought to have put wheels beneath the house, so that anyone who found himself living beside a bad neighbor could easily move away. Zeus, indignant at his spitefulness, cast him out of Olympus.

The fable shows that nothing is so excellent that some fault cannot be found with it.
