Plutarch Quotes

It Was For The Most Part By Sacrifices, Processions, And Religious Dances, Which He Himself Appointed And Conducted, And Which Mingled With Their Solemnity A Diversion Full Of Charm And A Beneficent Pleasure, That He Won The People's Favour And Tamed Their Fierce And Warlike Tempers. At Times, Also, By Heralding To Them Vague Terrors From The God, Strange Apparitions Of Divine Beings And Threatening Voices, He Would Subdue And Humble Their Minds By Means Of Superstitious Fears.
