Φησὶν οὖν ὁ Πλάτων· Τὸν μὲν οὖν ποιητὴν καὶ πατέρα τοῦδε τοῦ παντὸς εὑρεῖν τε ἔργον καὶ εὑρόντα εἰς πάντας ἀδύνατον λέγειν· ἕνα τὸν ἀγένητον καὶ ἀΐδιον νοῶν θεόν. Εἰ δ᾿ οἶδεν καὶ ἄλλους, οἷον ἥλιον καὶ σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας, ἀλλ᾿ ὡς γενητοὺς οἶδεν αὐτούς· Θεοὶ θεῶν, ὧν ἐγὼ δημιουργὸς πατήρ τε ἔργων, ἄλυτα ἐμοῦ μὴ θέλοντος· τὸ μὲν οὖν δεθὲν πᾶν λυτόν.
