Ares is a democrat.
There are no privileged people
On a battlefield.

Is pleased by song.

Is pleased

See Wikipedia: “An anacoluthon is a rhetorical device that can be loosely defined as a change of syntax within a sentence. More specifically, anacoluthons (or “anacoluthia”) are created when a sentence abruptly changes from one structure to another.
Anacoluthon is often used in stream of consciousness writing, such as that of James Joyce, because it is characteristic of informal human thought.”

Of all things that are, the most ancient is God, for he is uncreated.
The most beautiful is the universe, for it is God’s.
The greatest is space, for it holds all things.
The swiftest is mind, for it speeds everywhere.
The strongest, necessity, for it masters all.
The wisest, time, for it brings everything to light.
Diogenes Laertius attributed this to Thales
