"JULIAN - Look at this black water. Do you think if I vanished from the earth without trace, and my body was never found, and no one knew what had happened to me - do you think the legend would grow that Hermes had descended and carried me away, and that I had been taken up into the company of the gods?
MAXIMUS - The time is at hand when mortals will not need to die to live as gods upon the earth."
Ibsen, Emperor and Galilean, trad. Michael Meyer, London: Methuen, 1986, parte 2, at. III, p. 285.
