XX.&#8212;The Titans.

Ye say that the Titans are to you Tutans.&#160; Ye ask that these fierce ones should be silent under your roof, as so many Lares, shrines, images made like to a Titan.&#160; For ye foolishly adore those who have died by an evil death, not reading their own law.&#160; They themselves speak not, and ye dare to call them gods who are melted out of a brazen vessel; ye should rather melt them into little vessels for yourselves.
