Identify the context and significance of this quotation from Aesop (4-6 good sentences): Zeus then learned of the wrong that had been done to the beetle, and when the eagle returned, Zeus said to him, ‘It is only right that you have lost your little ones, since you mistreated the beetle!’ The beetle said, ‘The eagle treated me badly, but he also acted very impiously towards you, O Zeus! The eagle did not fear to violate your sacred name, and he killed the one who had taken refuge with me. I will not cease until I have punished the eagle completely!’ Zeus did not want the race of eagles to be wiped out, so he urged the beetle to relent. When his efforts to persuade the beetle failed, Zeus changed the breeding season of the eagles, so that it would take place at a time when the beetles were not found above ground.
