Are men not every day advanced in 4 I, 2| it consists, do not all men in their own tribes practise, 5 I, 3| by which the property of men is assailed, the gods bring 6 I, 3| upon us, and the affairs of men begin to be attacked by 7 I, 5| years ago a vast number of men burst forth from the island 8 I, 6| since we, a numerous band of men as we are, have learned 9 I, 6| who feel that they are men not in form of body but 10 I, 11| Hellebore is poison to men; should it therefore not 11 I, 13| endless and incessant, that men have never had a breathing 12 I, 16| price of corn, not only men not of our booty, but even 13 I, 20| from all intercourse with men; or if it is impolitic to 14 I, 23| the experience of learned men has for a long time called 15 I, 25| from the generations of men. But if it is not troublesome 16 I, 25| and why, on the other, men barn against us with exasperation. 17 I, 25| entire world. What do you, O men, endowed with reason, dare 18 I, 29| that we are said to be men, that, being either sent 19 I, 36| allege that one born as men are, and put to death on 20 I, 36| punishment even for worthless men, was God, and because you 21 I, 37| the state common to all men, search the most ancient 22 I, 41| laughed at, who regard as gods men slain by the most cruel 23 I, 43| is not aware that these men either study to know beforehand 24 I, 44| full of blessings good for men. 25 I, 45| which took possession of men was unable to bear, and 26 I, 45| were restored to sight, and men born without eyes now looked 27 I, 46| to countless numbers of men; who spoke to them, and 28 I, 46| appears even now to righteous men of unpolluted mind who love 29 I, 46| on soothsayers, prevents men from consulting the augurs, 30 I, 47| hardened and unbelieving men might he assured that what 31 I, 48| the infirmities of many men. I do not inquire, I do 32 I, 48| diseases to fly away from men at a touch; whether he commanded 33 I, 48| willed that the bodies of men should endure. What act 34 I, 48| those ailments which affect men: the healing qualities belong 35 I, 50| those humble and rustic men, and which He did not put 36 I, 54| But shall we say that the men of that time were untrustworthy, 37 I, 55| the minds as the bodies of men; overcome by the force of 38 I, 56| reached the ears of all men; or, if any were committed 39 I, 56| malevolence of the demons and of men like to them, whose care 40 I, 57| ceremonies. These were written by men; those, too, were written 41 I, 58| statements, but were put forth by men of simple mind, who knew 42 I, 58| those ornaments by which men seek to establish their 43 I, 60| death after the manner of men? Could that power which 44 I, 62| was cut off by death as men are. Not Christ Himself; 45 I, 63| will say, which neither men can know, nor those even 46 I, 63| trifles the wrongs which men did Him, submitted to the 47 I, 63| Did He not, grieving at men's miseries, pitying with 48 I, 64| matrons and maidens,-these men you name indigites and divi; 49 I, 64| writings; who seek to persuade men that the rights of marriage 50 I, 64| the assertions of a few men? But even if you were assured 51 I, 65| Laugh with scorn as wise men, and leave Him in His folly 52 II, 1| have abundance of which men strive eagerly? Did He ever, 53 II, 1| stealthily lie in wait for other men's wives? Did He ever, puffed 54 II, 2| world, because He has kept men back from seeking to honour 55 II, 2| opened the gates of piety to men blind and verily living 56 II, 3| 3. But He did not permit men to make supplication to 57 II, 5| mild m disposition? that men endowed with so great abilities, 58 II, 7| immortal and divine, is sick in men who are sick, senseless 59 II, 10| you say you believe wise men, well versed in all kinds 60 II, 11| the blind, or give it to men blind from their birth; 61 II, 11| things, assure us that these men know what is true? or are 62 II, 12| world, in which, although men are busied with the practices 63 II, 13| and tend towards the east, men will again burst forth from 64 II, 13| ourselves: for what are we men, but souls shut up in bodies?- 65 II, 15| us, which is said by some men till now unheard of, and 66 II, 15| many opinions as there are men in the world, nor are these 67 II, 16| your habitual arrogance, O men, who claim God as your Father, 68 II, 16| that the souls of wicked men, on leaving their human 69 II, 17| this was quite true, if all men lived rationally and wisely, 70 II, 17| reason and wisdom which we men are unable to copy, however 71 II, 18| did the arts descend with men's souls from the inmost 72 II, 18| divine and immortal, all men would from the first know 73 II, 19| 19. But if men either knew themselves thoroughly, 74 II, 19| impossible not to know them, all men would long before this be 75 II, 19| earth, nor would any race of men be found which would not 76 II, 22| believed that the souls of men are divine, and therefore 77 II, 22| brought into the assemblies of men when he has lived through 78 II, 24| assured that the souls of men are immortal and endowed 79 II, 24| accustomed to the ways of men; call to you that man of 80 II, 25| 25. What say you, O men, who assign to yourselves 81 II, 25| he is unacquainted with men, and always lives, loiters 82 II, 28| while not yet connected with men. For the same body which 83 II, 29| descent. For while, as just men and upholders of righteousness, 84 II, 29| hears it said by very wise men that the soul is immortal, 85 II, 31| it is that among learned men, and men endowed with excellent 86 II, 31| that among learned men, and men endowed with excellent abilities, 87 II, 35| whom the imagination of men believes to be gods, have 88 II, 37| were. And of what use are men to the world, and on account 89 II, 37| then? If there were not men, would the world cease to 90 II, 38| have been founded without men, and would not attain its 91 II, 39| be buried in the germs of men, spring from the womb, burst 92 II, 39| blameless virtue should learn as men to feign, to dissemble, 93 II, 40| the life-blood of wretched men; should be ever extending 94 II, 41| of which they should see men devoured and torn in pieces 95 II, 41| though in the forms of men, blush to curl their hair 96 II, 42| this He sent souls, that in men they should become impure, 97 II, 43| the other evil deeds which men devise over all the earth 98 II, 45| to maidens and to other men's wives, hate each other, 99 II, 46| cruel power, adverse to men, should be gratified. 100 II, 47| the place of deities in men's belief. But are we bound 101 II, 48| But further, we see that men, that is, these very souls-for 102 II, 48| very souls-for what are men but souls bound to bodies?- 103 II, 49| will say, there are good men also in the world,-wise, 104 II, 49| they are very honourable men, and have been worthy of 105 II, 49| not by a very few good men, but by all the rest as 106 II, 50| say that there are good men in the human race; and perhaps, 107 II, 51| enter into the forms of men. For you conjecture, do 108 II, 52| side. Whence, you say, are men; and what or whence are 109 II, 52| whence are the souls of these men? Whence, we will ask, are 110 II, 52| that the earth is mother of men, that others join with it 111 II, 52| established; may it not be that men sprang up in this way, and 112 II, 52| would not have the souls of men formed of that pure mixture 113 II, 53| believing that the souls of men are of a neutral character, 114 II, 56| For what is there which men of ability do not dare to 115 II, 56| take part in the affairs of men, and guide the course of 116 II, 57| brought forward as if by men raving. And it is rightly 117 II, 59| have the inner parts of men's bodies been formed and 118 II, 60| God, because He knew that men are naturally blind, and 119 II, 62| and that after death as men, they are restored without 120 II, 63| become of these souls of men who lived long ago? whether 121 II, 63| himself; whither the souls of men who lived before us have 122 II, 64| Christ came as the Saviour of men, as you say, why does He 123 II, 64| power of coming to Him,-to men of high rank, to the meanest 124 II, 65| is so unjust as to force men who are reluctant and unwilling, 125 II, 65| access to the light: nor may men either creep in or enter 126 II, 68| Saturn with the heads of men by Apollo's advice; have 127 II, 68| sense and the discretion all men have, if we have chosen 128 II, 69| ask, among the affairs of men that is either done by bodily 129 II, 69| refined,-were these born with men, and did they not rather 130 II, 74| of the gods, and might do men some service,-why they were 131 II, 75| necessary to give help to the men of old in one way, to provide 132 II, 75| telling that there were once men who were demi-gods, heroes 133 II, 78| 78. Wherefore, O men, refrain from obstructing 134 III, 1| fulness and accuracy by men of distinction in this respect, 135 III, 6| ago fully treated of by men of ardent genius, both in 136 III, 7| But why should I say that men seek from him subtleties 137 III, 11| find that the affairs of men have been ruined, and that 138 III, 11| care that the fortunes of men are guided and arranged. 139 III, 14| they do not eat the food of men, are we to believe that, 140 III, 15| yourselves adore images of men, as though they were powerful 141 III, 16| given the appearance of men to them merely by way of 142 III, 22| these arts to ingenious men, and teach mortals what 143 III, 22| they inform the minds of men with knowledge, as you say 144 III, 23| medicine; and why cannot men in more kinds of disease 145 III, 24| to grant to the races of men all the comforts of life? 146 III, 24| of their beneficence. We men trifle, and are foolish 147 III, 25| unbind the maiden-girdle; if men did not eat and drink? Moreover, 148 III, 26| gathers so many thousand men from different quarters, 149 III, 27| maintain and believe, she fills men's minds with lustful thoughts, 150 III, 27| daughters' desires; that old men, bringing shame upon their 151 III, 27| desires; that wise and brave men, losing in effeminacy the 152 III, 27| that in different places men, leaping voluntarily, cast 153 III, 29| existence; and different men give different opinions 154 III, 29| that deity too, whom the men of old declared, and handed 155 III, 31| the authority of learned men. Others have said that this 156 III, 34| 34. Some of your learned men -men, too, who do not chatter 157 III, 34| Some of your learned men -men, too, who do not chatter 158 III, 35| 35. Men worthy to be remembered 159 III, 35| entire, be divided into many men; nor can many men, while 160 III, 35| into many men; nor can many men, while they continue to 161 III, 36| assert that, because of us, men suffer ill at the hands 162 III, 39| that those who from being men became gods, are denoted 163 III, 39| passing through the life of men, there are no dii Novensiles 164 III, 39| have become gods from being men, it is clear and evident 165 III, 40| below, the fourth to mortal men, making some unintelligible 166 III, 41| tutelary demon, spirits of dead men. 167 IV, 6| received this name because men build that kind of fireplace 168 IV, 6| runs about the kitchens of men, examining and discovering 169 IV, 7| the debaucheries of young men? Is there one Perfica, also, 170 IV, 8| the earth then, or if we men were born without bones, 171 IV, 8| you think that gods, or men, or bees, fruits, twigs, 172 IV, 8| assigned to be of use to men? Or were the gods long without 173 IV, 9| common-sense in which all men share. For who there who 174 IV, 13| gods, and make sport of men's ignorance. Even now we 175 IV, 13| young and pert, but grave men also, cannot restrain their 176 IV, 13| restrain their laughter, and men who have been hardened into 177 IV, 13| which subject, indeed, men of keen discernment and 178 IV, 16| and persuade very silly men that you are reason? Does 179 IV, 18| lies open to all, and which men's thoughts have generally 180 IV, 18| done when the services of men of letters are set aside? 181 IV, 18| gods that has not reached men's thoughts from what has 182 IV, 18| what has been written by men on these subjects? Or can 183 IV, 19| For since both parties are men, both those who have said 184 IV, 20| to them a descent, which men of at all refined feelings 185 IV, 20| to the next generation of men? 186 IV, 21| the father of gods and men, who, by the motion of his 187 IV, 21| breast? What say you, O men? Did, then, shall I repeat, 188 IV, 23| 23. Men, though prone to lust, and 189 IV, 24| the troubles which assail men and the loss of the blessings 190 IV, 25| and Venus as wounded by men's hands? Is not Panyassis 191 IV, 26| say that they lusted after men? Some one loves Hylas; another 192 IV, 27| utterly destroy the race of men; or if they are true and 193 IV, 28| that the deity reclined at men's tables, was troubled on 194 IV, 28| which you speak relate to men. 195 IV, 29| and call gods, were but men, by quoting either Euhemerus 196 IV, 30| make manifest that by no men are they treated with less 197 IV, 32| not credible, indeed, that men by no means thoughtless, 198 IV, 32| fables which survived in men's minds and common conversation; 199 IV, 32| bring them into danger with men. But let us grant that the 200 IV, 33| only with women, but with men also. You take no care as 201 IV, 36| said is such as to make men humane, gentle, modest, 202 IV, 37| bringing woful misery on men, corrupted with pestilential 203 IV, 37| these miseries with which men have long been overwhelmed 204 V, 2| determined should befall men through the hurling of his 205 V, 4| be made with the heads of men, which could have been done 206 V, 5| at that time emptied of men; from which this Great Mother, 207 V, 5| he regarded not gods nor men, nor did he think anything 208 V, 7| that he would live among men in safety only so long as 209 V, 8| swept away the whole race of men? It is through man, then, 210 V, 8| For if it is certain that men are sprung originally from 211 V, 8| others with the condition of men. Varro, that famous Roman, 212 V, 9| has excited not only in men, but in some other animals 213 V, 10| here, indeed, very thrifty men, and frugal even about shameful 214 V, 12| gods, or reckon them among men even? Was that Acdestis, 215 V, 12| and in the condition of men, why did he cause the deities 216 V, 12| mocking you would give to men, if such a tale had been 217 V, 13| sex, in which not only do men lay aside their virile powers, 218 V, 14| breasts, the lopping off of men's members, ragings, blood, 219 V, 17| effeminate and delicate men whom we see among you in 220 V, 23| ever controls the world and men, adorned with the horns 221 V, 27| when lost, sought for as men are? and do they traverse 222 V, 28| is covered with images of men's fascina. The meaning of 223 V, 28| Semele, was still among men, the story goes, he wished 224 V, 28| according to the manner of men. Evius comes up froth the 225 V, 29| Do you wish your young men to know, hear, and learn 226 V, 30| or assert that they were men, and have been numbered 227 V, 31| boys, and even grown-up men of very fine appearance, 228 V, 42| mysteries to be known by men, and that the narratives 229 V, 44| heard your words. For among men devoted to the services 230 V, 45| the deities as not even we men endure, if any one applies 231 VI, 2| pleasure in the ills of men; should not terrify by portents, 232 VI, 2| cause fear; should not hold men responsible and liable to 233 VI, 2| and declarations of wise men state distinctly, that those 234 VI, 3| them which are needed by men, cats, emmets, and lizards, 235 VI, 6| either that you worship dead men for immortal gods, or that 236 VI, 7| caused it to remain in men's minds, together with its 237 VI, 10| manifest. For while all we men see that the sun is perfectly 238 VI, 10| hands they take the forms of men filling with breath twisted 239 VI, 11| supplication to little images of men and human forms-nay, you 240 VI, 13| have the forms of certain men, and the features of notorious 241 VI, 13| produced and was adored among men? 242 VI, 14| common: Why, pray, is this, O men! that of your own accord 243 VI, 15| they receive the forms of men, ears, noses, cheeks, lips, 244 VI, 16| of the images are, you, men, rational beings and endowed 245 VI, 19| the gods have the forms of men, as your belief declares; 246 VI, 20| defend them with a thousand men and a thousand women to 247 VI, 22| furious joys of the wretched men, and to bring back their 248 VI, 24| manners, learn to act as men; and that august forms of 249 VI, 24| possessed the hearts of men, and no one on earth were 250 VI, 24| things are full of wicked men, the name of innocence has 251 VI, 25| which they speak, that the men of old should have had reason 252 VI, 25| beholding them, the vices of men could be subdued, and their 253 VI, 25| were these expected to make men afraid? 254 VI, 26| wicked and impious? Were the men of that age and time, in 255 VI, 26| images caused any fear to men, the passing of laws would 256 VI, 26| be most certain fixed in men's minds also, and a condemnation 257 VII, 4| viscera? We half-savage men, nay rather,-to say with 258 VII, 4| law which is binding on men, we have broken through 259 VII, 6| by the offences of little men, and wounded if a creature, 260 VII, 7| for their anger against men, that having taken offence 261 VII, 9| declare who call themselves men, and by their ferocity make 262 VII, 11| so many and so wretched men, whence come so many unhappy 263 VII, 14| speaking are met with among men alone, whom their natural 264 VII, 15| us, to pay honour to all men even, of whatever rank, 265 VII, 17| some of the feelings of men, were to think and suppose 266 VII, 19| proved, the opinions of wise men, who cannot restrain their 267 VII, 20| by no means favourable to men, and presiding over misfortunes; 268 VII, 21| me merely the opinions of men, and the inventions of a 269 VII, 25| For if whatever is done by men, and especially in religion, 270 VII, 25| without a reason in all that men do and perform,-tell us 271 VII, 25| gods, comprehended by no men, understood by no creatures! 272 VII, 26| gentle and propitious to men, the ancients fell into 273 VII, 26| in ancient times neither men nor gods sought for this 274 VII, 29| Are they accustomed, as men are, to combine eating and 275 VII, 30| We are not speaking to men void of reason, or not possessed 276 VII, 30| which has often excited men's minds, and urged them 277 VII, 31| be reft from the use of men. This word, then, being 278 VII, 33| of offences committed by men, they lay it aside, get 279 VII, 33| But further, if they see men weakening themselves to 280 VII, 33| again become gracious to men? If these things cause the 281 VII, 34| in great measure, that men are unable to know what 282 VII, 34| pleasing to the gods above. We men gather our vintages, and 283 VII, 35| think that they are like men, and have been fashioned 284 VII, 36| glad, and are reconciled to men, their offended feelings 285 VII, 36| thinks himself supplicated by men with sufficient awe and 286 VII, 38| care and friendship for men? How often, after that-in 287 VII, 41| have it,-if they come to men's ears just as they have 288 VII, 42| pleasure afresh, turned the air men breathed into a baneful 289 VII, 43| observe even the laws of men, among whom it would be 290 VII, 45| on board ship along with men; and that god of the common 291 VII, 45| might be able to deceive men as to himself, who he was, 292 VII, 45| who he was, or to see what men were. But if you say this, 293 VII, 45| god shunned being seen by men, he should not have chosen 294 VII, 45| not have refused to allow men's eyes to look on him -why 295 VII, 48| because the ways in which men now live are impious and 296 VII, 48| nay, in all cities even, men have been of mixed natures, 297 VII, 48| later generations the good men of modern times have not 298 VII, 50| nothing by the strength of men; and, in returning to its 299 VII, 51| equally gracious to all men without any partiality, 300 VII, 51| with the dissensions of men, destroyed the power of
