  • "τὸεἰωθὸσ ἀποδέδωκε τῷ τρόπῳ, λόγου περὶ Ἄτησ καὶ ἡδονῆσ παραπεσόντοσ ἀπολαύσασ ἡμεῖσ δ’ ὦ Βόηθε, κἂν ᾖ φαυλότερα τῶν Ὁμήρου ταῦτα τὰ ἔπη, μὴ νομίζωμεν αὐτὰ πεποιηκέναι τὸν θεόν, ἀλλ’ ἐκείνου τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆσ κινήσεωσ ἐνδιδόντοσ, ὡσ ἑκάστη πέφυκε κινεῖσθαι τῶν προφητίδων. (Plutarch, De Pythiae oraculis, section 71)
