The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Polity of Athenians and Lacedaemonians by Xenophon: without excess of wealth. And in order that the kings also might camp
and mess in public he appointed them public quarters; and he honoured
them with a double portion[3] each at the evening meal, not in order
that they might actually eat twice as much as others, but that the
king might have wherewithal to honour whomsoever he desired. He also
granted as a gift to each of the two kings to choose two mess-fellows,
which same are called Puthioi. He also granted them to receive out of
every litter of swine one pig, so that the king might never be at a
loss for victims if in aught he wished to consult the gods.

Heracles, from Zeus himself. The kings are therefore "heroes,"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Redheaded Outfield by Zane Grey: The ball went so far up that Tom had time to

ran round in a little circle, with hands up in
bewilderment. And when the ball dropped it hit
him on the head and bounded away.
``Run, you Injun, run!'' bawled Bo. ``What'd
I tell you? We ain't got 'em goin', oh, no! Hittin'
'em on the head!''
Bill dropped a slow, teasing ball down the third-
base line. Jake Thomas ran desperately for it,
and the ball appeared to strike his hands and run
