Episode notes

Let the performance and completion of the pleasure of the universal nature seem to you to be your pleasure, precisely as the conduct of your health is seen to be. And so welcome all that comes to pass even though it appears rather cruel. Because it leads to that end to the health of the universe. That is to the welfare and all beings of Zeus. For he would not send this to one if it were not to the well being of the whole. No more than any living principle sends anything which is not appropriate to what it is governed by.
