"Sun, you keep on shining among the deathless gods
and mortal men across the good green earth.
And as for the guilty ones, why, soon enough
on the wine-dark sea I’ll hit their racing ship
with a white-hot bolt, I’ll tear it into splinters."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 12, 414-418. Zeus responds to Helios’ plea for revenge against Odysseus’ crew after they eat the sun god’s cattle. He promises Helios that he will strike their ship with a lightning bolt and tear it into splinters.
