ABSTRACT

Menander, Dis Exapaton, 4 (4th century BCE) 13 To despise this sphere and the gods within it, or anything else that is lovely,

is not the way to goodness. Plotinus, Enneads, 2, 9, 16 (3rd century)

14 There was a rocky valley between Buxton and Bakewell…divine as the vale of Tempe; you might have seen the gods there morning and evening,— Apollo and the sweet Muses of the Light.
