ἐν τούτοις γὰρ ὁ Παρμενίδης ἵππους μέν φησιν αὐτὸν φέρειν τἀς ἀλόγους τῆς ψυχῆς ὁρμάς τε καὶ ὀρέξεις, κατὰ δὲ τὴν πολύφημον ὁδὸν τοῦ δαίμονος πορεύεσθαι τὴν κατὰ τὸν φιλόσοφον λόγον θεωρίαν, ὃς λόγος προπομποῦ δαίμονος τρόπον ἐπὶ τὴν ἁπάντων ὁδηγεῖ γνῶσιν. κούρας δ’ αὐτοῦ προάγειν τὰς αἰσθήσεις, ὧν τὰς μὲν ἀκοὰς αἰνίττεται ἐν τῷ λέγειν ‘‘δοιοῖς γὰρ ἐπείγετο δινωτοῖσι κύκλοις”, τουτέστι τοῖς τῶν ὤτων, τὴν φωνὴν δι’ ὧν καταδέχονται, τὰς δὲ ὁράσεις Ἡλιάδας κούρας κέκληκε,
