The highest ether is harder than adamant. Then an eclipse of the moon is explained. The heavens in rotating produce no sound. The stars change, " and rule all things and are moved with the sun.
Another question raised is : Why planets don't scintillate ? The heavens are the primum mobile.
Palingenius expounds the Platonic doctrine : The forms give being to things.
Perhaps one of the most interesting speculative opinions of Palingenius is his reiterated belief that the ether has its citizens, wh...o live without material ' food and drink. The poet denies that matter isi eternal. Finally he gives his views regarding •'" elements and meteors.
63 J BOOK XII PISCES, OR THE FISHES Here, again, the poet takes up the story of the inhabitants of the ether. Innumerable thousands of gods inhabit the ether.
