Introductory Note to the Writings of Athenagoras
[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.]
[817] Callim., Hym. Jov., 8 sq. [Tit. i. 12. But St. Paul’s quotation is from Epimenides.]
Chapter XXXI.—Confutation of the Other Charges Brought Against the Christians.
[818] [“Thyestian feasts” (p. 130, supra); a charge which the Christian Fathers perpetually repel. Of course the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper lent colour to this charge; but it could not have been repelled, had they believed the material body and blood of the “man Christ Jesus,” present in this sacrament. See cap. iii., note.]
[819] [1 Cor. xv. 44. A very clear representation of the apostle’s doctrine. See Kaye, 199; and compare On the Resurrection, cap. xiii.]
Chapter XXXII.—Elevated Morality of the Christians.
