To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the earthly life and in Hades), have persevered to keep the soul wholly free from evils traverse the way of Zeus to the towers of Kronos, the island of the blest, whose delights are poetically described. 28 The common belief was that a sojourn of a thousand years in the abodes of the blessed or the dismal realm of Hades in- tervened between the successive earthly embodiments of the soul, and that the whole cycle comprised ten such returns, so that, in normal course, the soul could attain fin...al release and restoration of its divinity only after a lapse of more than ten thousand years. 29 This scheme, which we shall find again in Plato, is probably Pythagorean.
The guilt which was to be expiated was, as in ancient religions generally, conceived as defilement, and demanded physical or magical purifications. Such purifications formed an important part 30 METEMPSYCHOSIS in the ritual of the Orphic and Pythag- orean sects; Empedocles was a famous expert in the art.
In the body, the soul is ever beset by the temptations of sense and exposed to pollution by contact with things unclean.
