Hesiod, Works And Days, 340-349
ὥς κέ τοι ἵλαον κραδίην καὶ θυμὸν ἔχωσιν Is cast by gain, and shame is now pursued
ὄφρʼ ἄλλων ὠνῇ κλῆρον, μὴ τὸν τεὸν ἄλλος. By shamelessness, the gods then easily
τὸν φιλέοντʼ ἐπὶ δαῖτα καλεῖν, τὸν δʼ ἐχθρὸν ἐᾶσαι· Destroy him, bringing down his house, and there
τὸν δὲ μάλιστα καλεῖν, ὅς τις σέθεν ἐγγύθι ναίει· In record time, goes his prosperity.
εἰ γάρ τοι καὶ χρῆμʼ ἐγχώριον ἄλλο γένηται Likewise, if someone brings great ills to bear
γείτονες ἄζωστοι ἔκιον, ζώσαντο δὲ πηοί. On guest or suppliant or, by wrong beguiled
πῆμα κακὸς γείτων, ὅσσον τʼ ἀγαθὸς μέγʼ ὄνειαρ. Lies with his brother’s wife or sinfully
ἔμμορέ τοι τιμῆς, ὅς τʼ ἔμμορε γείτονος ἐσθλοῦ. Brings harm upon a little orphan child
οὐδʼ ἂν βοῦς ἀπόλοιτʼ, εἰ μὴ γείτων κακὸς εἴη. Or else insults with harsh contumely
εὖ μὲν μετρεῖσθαι παρὰ γείτονος, εὖ δʼ ἀποδοῦναι His aged father, thus provoking Zeu

5. Herodotus, Histories, 1.131 (5th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE) 1.131. As to the customs of the Persians, I know them to be these. It is not their custom to make and set up statues and temples and altars, but those who do such things they think foolish, because, I suppose, they have never believed the gods to be like men, as the Greeks do; ,but they call the whole circuit of heaven Zeus, and to him they sacrifice on the highest peaks of the mountains; they sacrifice also to the sun and moon and earth and fire and water and winds. ,From the beginning, these are the only gods to whom they have ever sacrificed; they learned later to sacrifice to the “heavenly” Aphrodite from the Assyrians and Arabians. She is called by the Assyrians Mylitta, by the Arabians Alilat, by the Persians Mitra.

Do you think you are accusing Anaxagoras, my dear Meletus, and do you so despise these gentlemen and think they are so unversed in letters as not to know, that the books of Anaxagoras the Clazomenian are full of such utterances? And forsooth the youth learn these doctrines from me, which they can buy sometime
7. Plato, Cratylus, 397d, 397c (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 397c. Hermogenes. I think you are right, Socrates. Socrates. Then is it not proper to begin with the gods and see how the gods are rightly called by that name? Hermogenes. That is reasonable. Socrates. Something of this sort, then, is what I suspect: I think the earliest men in Greece believed only in those gods in whom many foreigners believe today—
8. Plato, Symposium, 220d (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 220d. this time it was summer—brought out their mattresses and rugs and took their sleep in the cool; thus they waited to see if he would go on standing all night too.
