Those citizens of the ocean feel sheltered under the aegis of an uncontested law, of an undisputed dynasty.

Yet the will of Zeus who holds the aegis is different at different times; and it is hard for mortal men to tell it; for if you should plough late, you may find this remedy -- when the cuckoo first calls (20) in the leaves of the oak and makes men glad all over the boundless earth, if Zeus should send rain on the third day and not cease until it rises neither above an ox's hoof nor falls short of it, then the late-plougher will vie with the early.

Jerry was even guilty of playing with children who happened at times to be under the Kennan aegis.
