Ὅμηρος δέ καὶ Ἡσίοδος κατὰ τὸν Κολοφώνιον Ξενο- φάνη (B 12 Dieis) ὡς πλεῖστ’ ἐφθέγξαντο θεῶν ἀθεμίστια ἔργα, κλέπτειν μοιχεύειν τε καὶ ἀλλήλους ἀπατεύειν. Κρόνος μὲν γάρ, ἐφʼ οὖ τὸν εὐδαίμονα βίον γεγονέναι λέγουσι, τὸν πατέρα ἦνδροτόμησε καὶ τὰ τέκνα κατέπιεν, Ζεύς τε ὁ τούτου παῖς ἀφελόμενος αὐτὸν τῆς ἡγεμονίας (Ηom. Ξ 204) γαίης νέρθε καθεῖσε καὶ ἀτρυγέτοιο θαλάσσης, τῆλε μάλʼ ἧχι βάθιστον ὑπὸ χθονός ἐστι βέρεθρον.
