If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands...

The Ethiopians say that their gods are snub-nosed and black the Thracians that theirs have light blue eyes and red hair.

If cows and horses had hands and could draw, cows would draw gods that look like cows and horses would draw gods that look like horses.

All things that come into being and grow are earth and water.

Homer and Hesiod attributed to the gods all things which are disreputable and worthy of blame when done by men; and they told of them many lawless deeds, stealing, adultery, and deception of each other.
