372 10 | who deny that there are Gods.~Cleinias. Certainly—quite
373 10 | believing that there are Gods, believes also that they
374 10 | believing that there are Gods you are led by some affinity
375 10 | do not like to accuse the Gods of them, because they are
376 10 | denied the existence of the Gods. And do you, Megillus and
377 10 | proving to him that the Gods care about the small as
378 10 | a human quality, but the Gods have no part in anything
379 10 | alike confess that there are Gods, but with a difference—the
380 10 | both acknowledge that the Gods hear and see and know all
381 10 | remains is, that if the Gods neglect the lighter and
382 10 | are the property of the Gods, to whom also the whole
383 10 | these things are to the Gods great or small—in either
384 10 | would not be natural for the Gods who own us, and who are
385 10 | a supposition about the Gods which is both impious and
386 10 | who delights to accuse the Gods of neglect.~Cleinias. Yes.~
387 10 | of all things easy to the Gods. If any one were to form
388 10 | although not, like the Gods of popular opinion, eternal,
389 10 | This is the justice of the Gods who inhabit Olympus.~ O
390 10 | you are neglected by the Gods, know that if you become
391 10 | universal neglect of the Gods, not knowing how they make
392 10 | not what you say of the Gods, then will God help you;
393 10 | proved the existence of the Gods, and that they care for
394 10 | Athenian. Well, then, by the Gods themselves I conjure you
395 10 | and in that conflict the Gods and demigods are our allies,
396 10 | latter is in the life of the Gods, although some vestige of
397 10 | say who declares that the Gods are always lenient to the
398 10 | he who maintains that the Gods can be propitiated argue
399 10 | would any man compare the Gods without absurdity? Will
400 10 | be a fearful image of the Gods.~Athenian. Nor are they
401 10 | Athenian. And are not all the Gods the chiefest of all guardians,
402 10 | three assertions—that the Gods exist, and that they take
403 10 | various imaginations about the Gods; and this zeal has led me
404 10 | who does not believe in Gods, and yet has a righteous
405 10 | that the world is devoid of Gods are intemperate, and have
406 10 | may talk loosely about the Gods and about sacrifices and
407 10 | also the notion that the Gods take no thought of men produces
408 10 | believe that there are no Gods, or that they are negligent,
409 10 | and promise to charm the Gods with sacrifices and prayers,
410 10 | reason of this is as follows:—Gods and temples are not easily
411 10 | and promising shrines to Gods, demigods, and sons of Gods;
412 10 | Gods, demigods, and sons of Gods; and when they are awakened
413 10 | shall possess shrines of the Gods in private houses, and he
414 10 | publicly or privately to any Gods, let him be punished with
415 11 | trove:—May I never pray the Gods to find the hidden treasure,
416 11 | suffer at the hands of the Gods, God only knows; but I would
417 11 | prescribed:—No one shall call the Gods to witness, when he says
418 11 | and pays no heed to the Gods; and in the next degree,
419 11 | and when he invokes the Gods, according to the customs
420 11 | defile the names of the Gods, after the fashion of men
421 11 | deemed to have robbed the Gods of the agora; or if he proves
422 11 | dedicate the goods to the Gods of the agora. He who is
423 11 | matters, out of respect to the Gods who are their ancestors.
424 11 | case let the law and the Gods maintain the common bonds
425 11 | as what?~Athenian. O ye Gods, he will say, how monstrous
426 11 | should have a fear of the Gods above, who regard the loneliness
427 11 | about the service of the Gods, will be a suitable introduction:—
428 11 | ancient customs about the Gods which are universal, and
429 11 | of two kinds: some of the Gods we see with our eyes and
430 11 | imagine that the living Gods have a good will and gratitude
431 11 | heard and ratified by the Gods, and Amyntor in his wrath
432 11 | whence it is clear that the Gods listen to the imprecations
433 11 | children, are heard by the Gods in accordance with nature;
434 11 | heart earnestly entreats the Gods in his prayers to do them
435 11 | is more honoured by the Gods, than that of a father or
436 11 | win him the favour of the Gods.~Cleinias. Excellent.~Athenian.
437 11 | laws of such a kind as the Gods and sons of Gods would have
438 11 | as the Gods and sons of Gods would have us give.~If a
439 12 | base, but only what the Gods themselves do. For such
440 12 | presented to Peleus by the Gods as a nuptial gift when he
441 12 | Magnetes, by providence of the Gods, is again preserved, and
442 12 | no doubt that there were Gods, which was a reasonable
443 12 | most men were the sons of Gods, and according to tradition
444 12 | judgment to no man, but to the Gods only, and in this way suits
445 12 | in the existence of the Gods, and others imagine that
446 12 | the needs of men about the Gods are changed, the laws should
447 12 | which the sun and the other Gods behold. Wherefore, in the
448 12 | games there dedicated to the Gods; and they should send as
449 12 | an oath by the customary Gods that he expects to find
450 12 | Touching offerings to the Gods, a moderate man should observe
451 12 | all men is sacred to all Gods; wherefore let no man dedicate
452 12 | them a second time to the Gods. Gold and silver, whether
453 12 | a colour suitable to the Gods, especially in woven works,
454 12 | whether appertaining to the Gods of the underworld or of
455 12 | goes on her way to other Gods, before them to give an
456 12 | the lifeless altar of the Gods below. But the legislator
457 12 | not the knowledge of the Gods which we have set forth
458 12 | there is respecting the Gods; our city is forbidden and
459 12 | lead men to believe in the Gods, as we have already stated?~
