Introductory Note to the Writings of Athenagoras

[796] Hom., Il., iii. 39.

[797] [see note to Theophilus, cap. x., supra, p. 92.]

Chapter XXVII.—Artifices of the Demons.

[798] [Kaye, p. 191; and comp. cap. xxiv., supra, p. 142.]

[799] [Comp. On the Resurrection, cap. xiii., infra., p. 439 of ed. Edinburgh. Also Kaye, p. 199.]

[800] [Kaye, p. 190.]

Chapter XXVIII.—The Heathen Gods Were Simply Men.

[801] ii. 144. Mr. Rawlinson’s translation is used in the extracts from Herodotus.

[802] ii. 50.

[803] ii. 156.

[804] ii. 41.

[805] ii. 3. The text is here uncertain, and differs from that of Herodotus. [Herodotus, initiated in Egyptian mysteries, was doubtless sworn to maintain certain secrets of the priests of Osiris.]

[806] ii. 61. [The name of Osiris.]

[807] ii. 170.

[808] ii. 86.

Chapter XXIX.—Proof of the Same from the Poets.

[809] Hom., Od., xxi. 28. sq.

[810] Hesiod, Frag.

[811] i.e., Æsculapius.

[812] Pyth., iii. 96 sq.

[813] Ascribed by Seneca to the Bellerophon of Eurip.

[814] From the Ino, a lost play of Eurip.

Chapter XXX.—Reasons Why Divinity Has Been Ascribed to Men.

[815] i.e., after Gaïa and Ouranos, Earth and Heaven.

[816] Oracc., Sibyll., iii. 108–113. [Kaye, p. 220, and compare cap. vii., supra. The inspiration of Balaam, and likewise that of the ass, must, in my opinion, illustrate that of the Sibyls.]
