Hercules and Plutus

　　When Hercules was received among the gods and was entertained at a banquet by Jupiter, he responded courteously to the greetings of all with the exception of Plutus, the god of wealth. When Plutus approached him, he cast his eyes upon the ground, and turned away and pretended not to see him. Jupiter was surprised at this conduct on his part, and asked why, after having been so cordial with all the other gods, he had behaved like that to Plutus. "Sire," said Hercules, "I do not like Plutus, and I will tell you why. When we were on earth together I always noticed that he was to be found in the company of scoundrels."

　　赫拉克勒斯和財神

　　赫拉克勒斯被眾神接納為神以后，朱庇特為他設宴慶賀。宴會上，赫拉克勒斯熱情友好地向眾神一一問好，唯獨財神普羅托斯除外。當財神向他走去時，他卻低下頭盯著地面看，然后轉身走開了，假裝沒有看到他。朱庇特看到他的舉動十分驚訝，便問他為什么與其他神都能高興地打招呼，唯獨對財神普羅托斯卻另眼相看。赫拉克勒斯回答說：“陛下，我不喜歡財神普羅托斯，我會告訴您原因的。當我們倆都在人間時，總會見到他與壞人在一起。”
