  • δωρησαμένουσ τὸν θεόν, ὡσ καρπῶν δοτῆρα καὶ πατρῷον καὶ γενέσιον καὶ φιλάνθρωπον αἰτιῶμαι δὲ Μεγαρεῖσ, ὅτι μόνοι σχεδὸν ἐνταῦθα λόγχην ἔχοντα τὸν θεὸν ἔστησαν ἀπὸ τῆσ μάχησ, ἣν Ἀθηναίουσ μετὰ τὰ Περσικὰ τὴν πόλιν ἔχοντασ αὐτῶν νικήσαντεσ ἐξέβαλον. (Plutarch, De Pythiae oraculis, section 16 6:1)
  • οὐδὲν δὴ θαυμαστὸν ἦν τοὺσ παλαιοὺσ ἱερὰν ὑπολαβεῖν τοῦ Κρόνου τὴν χώραν ταύτην, τὸν μὲν δαίμονα τοῦτον οἰομένουσ εἶναι πάσησ εὐδαιμονίασ δοτῆρα καὶ πληρωτὴν ἀνθρώποισ, εἴτε Κρόνον αὐτὸν δεῖ καλεῖν, ὡσ Ἕλληνεσ ἀξιοῦσιν, εἴτε Σάτουρνον, ὡσ Ῥωμαῖοι, πᾶσαν δὲ περιειληφότα τὴν τοῦ κόσμου φύσιν, ὁποτέρωσ ἄν τισ ὀνομάσῃ· (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Antiquitates Romanae, book 1, chapter 38 1:1)
