Yes, it must necessarily be the case that soul acts in one of these ways when it propels all things.Athenian
Here, I pray you, pause. This soul,—whether it is by riding in the car of the sun,1 or from outside, or otherwise, that it brings light to us all—every man is bound to regard as a god. Is not that so?
