Πλὴν ἐπάνειμι ἐπὶ τὴν πρωτίστην τῶν Ἑλλήνων δόξαν, τὴν πολλοὺς καὶ παντοπαθεῖς θεοὺς εἶναι μυθολογοῦσαν. καὶ ἵνα μὴ εἰς τὰ ἀσφαλῆ πολὺν ἀναλίσκω χρόνον, ἑκάστου τῶν λεγομένων θεῶν τὰς ἀσεβεῖς πράξεις εἰσηγούμενος, πάντας μὲν οὐκ ἄν εἴποιμι αὐτῶν τοὺς ἔρωτας, τοῦ Διός τε καὶ Ποσειδῶνος, Πλούτωνός τε καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος, Διονύσου τε καὶ Ἡρακλέους καὶ τῶν καθ᾽ ἕνα ἕκαστον, ὧν οὐδὲ αὐτοὶ ἀγνοεῖτε, ἐκ παιδείας Ἑλληνικῆς ὁρμώμενοι, οὕς ἐπαιδεύθητε βίους, ἵνα ὡς ζηλωταὶ τῶν θεῶν τὰ ὅμοια πράττητε.
