OrpheusPlato's Laws, On Orphic Life
We hear of other human beings who do not even venture to taste the flesh of a cow and have no animal sacrifices, but only cakes and fruits soaked in honey, and similar pure offerings, but no flesh or animals; from these they abstain under the idea that they ought not to eat them, and may not stain the altars of the gods with blood. In those days men are said to have lived a sort of Orphic life, having the use of all lifeless things, but abstaining from all living things.—Plato's Laws, 782 | ||||||||
