Deception of Zeus
The section of the Iliad that ancient editors called the Dios apate (the "Deception of Zeus") stands apart from the remainder of Book XIV. In this episode (Iliad book 14 lines 153-353) Hera first makes an excuse to leave her divine husband Zeus; in her deception speech she declares that she wishes to go to Oceanus "origin of the gods" and Tethys, the "mother".
