loose translation

Discordia, Jupiter and Mercury are participants in this dialogue. The Goddess Discordia, fallen in universal disrepute brings complaints to the father Jupiter about unjust slander against her both from the men and from the gods, and to want to persuade the omnipotent one that Chaos is the true mother of Existence, the conservator of men and of everything earthbound; moreover not only is it good in itself, but its for its work that everything exists, without it there would be no moderates or extremes in the world, everything would mingle and muddle. On this basis: all is destruction and regeneration, and only Discordia can give knowledge of this. The incessant push and pull between these two operations is to all others essential. Observe the ingenuity in this Dialogue, tutio wrote to tucianesca, is truly a beautiful and ingenious sophism argued with panache, and often salted with wisdom in the style of the philosopher’s writings.

Disc.. How is it, Zeus, that I, which produced and keep the world, is worthy of being reproached and blasphemed by everyone?

Zeus. How did you come to think that?

Disc. Howcome? You know very well, that in the beginning the world originated in Chaos in a way that nothing had neither form nor name, I stood there distinguishing everything down there on the earth, so the son born mortals, and from the upper part it pulls the sky, to which I gave virtue to produce you Gods, to which at present do you resist. Wise Zeus, you are my descendant; The way i see it I brought forth the sky, which was Saturn, who was your father.
