  • τὸ δὲ περὶ τὴν τῶν κατόπτρων εἰδωλοποιίαν καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐμφανῆ καὶ λεῖα, κατιδεῖν οὐδὲν ἔτι χαλεπόν. (Plato, Hippias Major, Hippias Minor, Ion, Menexenus, Cleitophon, Timaeus, Critias, Minos, Epinomis, 180:1)
  • οὐ γὰρ ἀπέχρη τούτοισ περὶ τἄλλα ἐπιδείκνυσθαι τὴν αὑτῶν δεινότητα καὶ σοφίαν, ἀλλὰ καὶ θεῶν εἰκόνασ καὶ διαθέσεισ παντοδαπὰσ ἐπιδεικνύντεσ, ἰδίᾳ τε καὶ δημοσίᾳ χορηγοὺσ τὰσ πόλεισ λαμβάνοντεσ, πολλῆσ ἐνέπλησαν ὑπονοίασ καὶ ποικίλησ περὶ τοῦ δαιμονίου, οὐ παντελῶσ διαφερόμενοι τοῖσ ποιηταῖσ καὶ νομοθέταισ, τὸ μὲν ὅπωσ μὴ δοκῶσι παράνομοι καὶ ταῖσ ἐπικειμέναισ ἐνέχωνται ζημίαισ, τὸ δὲ ὁρῶντεσ προκατειλημμένουσ αὐτοὺσ ὑπὸ τῶν ποιητῶν καὶ πρεσβυτέραν οὖσαν τὴν ἐκείνων εἰδωλοποιίαν.
