Jupiter

Jupiter to Bee
"You shall have your request, but it will be at the peril of your own life. For if you use your sting, it shall remain in the wound you make, and then you will die from the loss of it." ~ The Bee and Jupiter

Oak to Jupiter
"We bear for no purpose the burden of life, as of all the trees that grow we are the most continually in peril of the axe." ~ The Oaks and Jupiter

Jupiter to Oak
"You have only to thank yourselves for the misfortunes to which you are exposed: for if you did not make such excellent pillars and posts, and prove yourselves so serviceable to the carpenters and the farmers, the axe would not so frequently be laid to your roots." ~ The Oaks and Jupiter

Jupiter to Minvera
"It is lest we should seem to covet the honor for the fruit." ~ The Trees Under the Protection of the Gods

Minerva to Jupiter
"Let anyone say what he will the olive is more dear to me on account of its fruit." ~ The Trees Under the Protection of the Gods

Jupiter to Minerva
"My daughter, you are rightly called wise; for unless what we do is useful, the glory of it is vain." ~ The Trees Under the Protection of the Gods

Jupiter to He-goat
"Allow them," said Jupiter, "to enjoy an empty honor and to assume the badge of your nobler sex, so long as they are not your equals in strength or courage." ~ The She-Goats and Their Beards

Lion to Jupiter
"It is true, O Jupiter!" he said, "that I am gigantic in strength, handsome in shape, and powerful in attack. I have jaws well provided with teeth, and feet furnished with claws, and I lord it over all the beasts of the forest, and what a disgrace it is, that being such as I am, I should be frightened by the crowing of a cock." ~ The Lion, Jupiter, and the Elephant

Jupiter to Lion
"Why do you blame me without a cause? I have given you all the attributes which I possess myself, and your courage never fails you except in this one instance." ~ The Lion, Jupiter, and the Elephant
