>From the Apocolocyntosis, pages 146 and 147:
He killed in one household Crassus,
Magnus, Scribonia, the Tristionias, and Assario;
and they were aristocrats too, and Crassus besides
so stupid that he was even qualified to reign.
Now do you want to make this man a god ? Look
at his body, born when the gods were angry. And
finally, if he can say three consecutive words
together, he can have me as his slave. Who will
worship this god ? Who will believe in him ? As
long as you make such gods as he, nobody will
believe you are gods yourselves.
