  • οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἐκτομαὶ οὐδὲ δεσμοὶ ἀλλήλων ἐγίγνοντο καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ καὶ βίαια, εἰ Ἔρωσ ἐν αὐτοῖσ ἦν, ἀλλὰ φιλία καὶ εἰρήνη, ὥσπερ νῦν, ἐξ οὗ Ἔρωσ τῶν θεῶν βασιλεύει. (Plato, Parmenides, Philebus, Symposium, Phaedrus, 195:1)
  • οἱ δὲ διαδεξάμενοι χρόνουσ μέν τινασ ἐν τοῖσ αὐτοῖσ διέμενον δικαιοπραγοῦντεσ καὶ θεοσεβεῖσ ὡσ ἀληθῶσ ὄντεσ, ἔπειτ’ ἐφισταμένων ἐπὶ τὴν ἱερωσύνην τὸ μὲν πρῶτον δεισιδαιμόνων, ἔπειτα τυραννικῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐκ μὲν τῆσ δεισιδαιμονίασ αἱ τῶν βρωμάτων ἀποσχέσεισ, ὧνπερ καὶ νῦν ἔθοσ ἐστὶν αὐτοῖσ ἀπέχεσθαι, καὶ [αἱ] περιτομαὶ καὶ αἱ ἐκτομαὶ καὶ εἴ τινα τοιαῦτα ἐνομίσθη, ἐκ δὲ τῶν τυραννίδων τὰ λῃστήρια.
