Re: Request for help

Hello,

first of all: welcome to this list, Christos, you are just the right person
to answer this question. (I'm not, Pjotr, I know certainly less Ancient
Greek than you do and have no idea about its grammar - my specialty is
Aegean mythology, plant lore, Aegean archaeology - still learning).

And as 'mythologist' I'd like to say my opinion to the teeth and bread
subject.

I can't well imagine Homer would have said 'God' in this case - that seems
to me somewhat anachronistic! He'd either say Zeus (who wouldn't be the one
to give bread, on the other hand, that would have been Demeter) or 'the
Gods'. And he might typically add : 'because he/they can do whatever they
like' (cf. Odyssey, 4, 236: Zeus gives luck and bad luck both, to him
everything is possible).

Best wishes from Crete
