Hesiod, Theogony, 730-739


κεκρύφαται βουλῇσι Διὸς νεφεληγερέταοA hundred hands and fifty heads, all blessed


χώρῳ ἐν εὐρώεντι, πελώρης ἔσχατα γαίης.With robust limbs. The Titans then they faced


τοῖς οὐκ ἐξιτόν ἐστι. θύρας δʼ ἐπέθηκε ΠοσειδέωνAnd in their mighty hands huge rocks they’d placed


χαλκείας, τεῖχος δὲ περοίχεται ἀμφοτέρωθεν.While, opposite, the Titans eagerly


ἔνθα Γύης Κόττος τε καὶ Ὀβριάρεως μεγάθυμοςStrengthened their ranks, and simultaneously


ναίουσιν, φύλακες πιστοὶ Διὸς αἰγιόχοιο.Both sides revealed their strength, and all around


ἔνθα δὲ γῆς δνοφερῆς καὶ Ταρτάρου ἠερόεντοςThe boundless sea roared with a fearful sound


πόντου τʼ ἀτρυγέτοιο καὶ οὐρανοῦ ἀστερόεντοςAnd all the earth crashed loudly; in the sky


ἑξείης πάντων πηγαὶ καὶ πείρατʼ ἔασινWide Heaven, shaking, groaned and groaned; on high


ἀργαλέʼ εὐρώεντα, τά τε στυγέουσι θεοί περOlympus rolled and tottered from its base

8. Parmenides, Fragments, b1, b1.11, b1.14 (6th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE)

9. Pindar, Olympian Odes, 2.85 (6th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE)

10. Aristophanes, Clouds, 1241 (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE)

1241. καὶ Ζεὺς γέλοιος ὀμνύμενος τοῖς εἰδόσιν.
11. Plato, Gorgias, 521d, 523a1, 523a2, 523a3, 524a, 524b, 503a (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE)

503a. Call. This question of yours is not quite so simple; for there are some who have a regard for the citizens in the words that they utter, while there are also others of the sort that you mention. Soc. That is enough for me. For if this thing also is twofold, one part of it, I presume, will be flattery and a base mob-oratory, while the other is noble—the endeavor, that is, to make the citizens’ souls as good as possible, and the persistent effort to say what is best, whether it prove more or less pleasant to one’s hearers.
12. Plato, Phaedrus, 271a (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE)

271a. Socrates. Then this is the goal of all his effort; he tries to produce conviction in the soul. Is not that so? Phaedrus. Yes. Socrates. So it is clear that Thrasymachus, or anyone else who seriously teaches the art of rhetoric, will first describe the soul with perfect accuracy and make us see whether it is one and all alike, or, like the body, of multiform aspect; for this is what we call explaining its nature. Phaedrus. Certainly. Socrates. And secondly he will say what its action is and toward what it is directed, or how it is acted upon and by what. Phaedrus. To be sure.
13. New Testament, Matthew, 17.2 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE)

17.2. He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
14. Pausanias, Description of Greece, 8.2.6-8.2.7, 10.1.11 (2nd cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)

8.2.6. All through the ages, many events that have occurred in the past, and even some that occur to-day, have been generally discredited because of the lies built up on a foundation of fact. It is said, for instance, that ever since the time of Lycaon a man has changed into a wolf at the sacrifice to Lycaean Zeus, but that the change is not for life; if, when he is a wolf, he abstains from human flesh, after nine years he becomes a man again, but if he tastes human flesh he remains a beast for ever. 8.2.7. Similarly too it is said that Niobe on Mount Sipylus sheds tears in the season of summer. I have also heard that the griffins have spots like the leopard, and that the Tritons speak with human voice, though others say that they blow through a shell that has been bored. Those who like to listen to the miraculous are themselves apt to add to the marvel, and so they ruin truth by mixing it with falsehood. 10.1.11. Afterwards the Phocians discovered a stratagem quite as clever as their former ones. For when the armies were lying opposite each other at the pass into Phocis, five hundred picked men of Phocis, waiting until the moon was full, attacked the Thessalians on that night, first smearing themselves with chalk and, in addition to the chalk, putting on white armour. It is said that there then occurred a wholesale slaughter of the Thessalians, who thought this apparition of the night to be too unearthly to be an attack of their enemies. It was Tellias of Elis who devised this stratagem also for the Phocians to use against the Thessalians.
