(The gods say to Ea:) ‘This undertaking is surely suited to you: who can effect (anything), where you cannot?’

Ludlul Bēl Nēmeqi 4.33-34:
Apart from Marduk, who restores his dead to life? But for Ṣarpanitum, which goddess grants breath?

Aeschylus, Supplices 599:
What of these things is not brought forth by the mind of Zeus?

Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1487:
What is fulfilled for mortals without Zeus? What of these things is not divinely ordained?
