Honored Hera, most preeminent among the goddesses, I am yours, all things are yours, and you sit as the legitimate  queen  of  Olympus,  and  we  fear  no  other  female  hand.

From Callimachus Hymn IV To Delos (translated by Susan A. Stephens)

If eusebeia is expressed in cult, the problem arises that the rich and powerful once more have a chance to outdo the poor. Against this it was emphasised at least since Hesiod that for the gods it is not the absolute value of the gift that matters, but that each man should make sacrifice according to his means. From most probably the sixth century on, the question about the ‘most pious man’ was answered by an anecdote in the Seven Wise Men style: the god of Delphi, asked who was most pious, did not name the rich man who brought his hecatombs, but a simple peasant who used to throw a handful of barley corns into the flames of his hearth. Thus again eusebeia avoids the extravagant and excessive.
