313 customary to toss food, upon which they may rage madly, and turn their desire to do harm, lest, having been roused, they should rage and burst the barriers of their dens. But if these sacrifices are offered to satisfy 1 the gods when already fired and burning with rage, I do not inquire, I do not consider, whether that happy 2 and sublime greatness of spirit which belongs to the deities is disturbed by the offences of little men, and wounded if a creature, blind and ever treading among clou...ds of ignorance, has committed any blunder, said [anything] by which their dignity is impaired.
7. But neither do I demand that this should be said, or that I should be told what causes the gods have for their anger against men, that having taken offence they must be soothed. [I do ask, however, ] Did they ever ordain any laws for mortals ? and was it ever settled by them what it was fitting for them to do, or what it was not ? what they should pursue, what avoid ; or even by what means they wished themselves to be worshipped, so that they might pursue with the vengeance of their wrath what was done otherwise than they had commanded, and might be disposed, if treated con- temptuously, to avenge themselves on the presumptuous and transgressors ?
