Ποῖον γὰρ ἐπιτήδευμα παρ᾿ ὑμῖν τὴν σύστασιν οὐκ ἀπὸ βαρβάρων ἐκτήσατο; Τελμισέων μὲν γὰρ οἱ δοκιμώτατοι τὴν δι᾿ ὀνείρων ἐξεῦρον μαντικήν, Κᾶρες τὴν διὰ τῶν ἄστρων πρόγνωσιν, πτήσεις ὀρνίθων Φρύγες καὶ Ἰσαύρων οἱ παλαιότατοι, Κύπριοι θυτικήν, ἀστρονομεῖν Βαβυλώνιοι, μαγεύειν Πέρσαι, γεωμετρεῖν Αἰγύπτιοι, τὴν διὰ γραμμάτων παιδείαν Φοίνικες. Ὅθεν παύσασθε τὰς μιμήσεις εὑρέσεις ἀποκαλοῦντες. Ποίησιν μὲν γὰρ ἀσκεῖν καὶ ᾄδειν Ὀρφεὺς ὑμᾶς ἐδίδαξεν, ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς καὶ μυεῖσθαι· Τουσκανοὶ πλάττειν, ἱστορίας συντάττειν αἱ παρ᾿ Αἰγυπτίοις τῶν χρόνων ἀναγραφαί. Μαρσύου δὲ καὶ Ὀλύμπου τὴν αὐλητικὴν ἀπηνέγκασθε· Φρύγες δὲ οἱ ἀμφότεροι τὴν διὰ σύριγγος ἁρμονίαν ἄγροικοι συνεστήσαντο. Τυῤῥηνοὶ σάλπιγγα, χαλκεύειν Κύκλωπες, καὶ ἐπιστολὰς συντάττειν ἡ Περσῶν ποτε ἡγησαμένη γυνή, καθάπερ φησὶν Ἑλλάνικος·…","divisions":[{"label":"Chapter
