Let no one of the Greeks be afraid, as it is not necessary for mortals to concern themselves with the divine; rather, it is to be thought otherwise, that neither is it at any time foolish to the divine nor does it somehow ignore human nature, but knows that when it teaches, the learner will follow and learn the teachings.

(Therefore, no Greek should fear thinking that mortals should not engage with the divine. On the contrary, he should consider that the divine is not irrational, nor does it in any way ignore human nature, but knows that if it teaches a person, that person will follow and learn the teachings.)

(Plato, Epilogue 988)
