Men always makes gods in their own image.
God is one, greatest of gods and men, not like mortals in body or thought.
...for our wisdom is better than the strength of men or of horses. ... nor is it right to prefer strength to excellent wisdom. For if there should be in the city [any athlete whose skill] is honoured more than strength ... the city would not on that account be any better governed.
For we are all sprung from earth and water
All men begin their learning with Homer.
But without effort [God] sets in motion all things by mind and thought.
