King Poros of India, to Alexander, who plunders cities: I instruct you to withdraw. What can you, a mere man, achieve against a god? Is it because you have destroyed the good fortune of others by meeting weaker men in battle that you think yourself more mighty than me? But I am invincible: not only am I the king of men, but even of gods-when Dionysus (who they say is a god) came here, the Indians used their own power to drive him away. So not only do I advise you.
