Chapter XV.—Wickedness of the Gods.
“But I return to the foremost doctrine of
the Greeks, that which states in stories1037
that there are gods many, and subject to all kinds of passions.
And not to spend much time upon things that are clear, referring to the
impious deeds of every one of those who are called gods, I could not
tell all their amours; those of Zeus and Poseidon, of Pluto and Apollo,
of Dionysus and Hercules, and of them all singly.1038
| 1038 [See Homily
V. 11–15, and comp. Recognitions, x.
20.—R.] | And of these you are yourselves
not ignorant, and have been taught their manners of life, being
instructed in the Grecian learning, that, as competitors with the gods,
you might do like things.
