676, where a "historical" account of the origin of the State is given. Here the first condition is pastoral ; then comes agriculture, the tribe, patriarchal rule ; finally, the Polls. The Laws show a very mature estimate of social life ; the following points illustrate this phase : — Laws, 716 : " Now God ought to be to us the measure of all things, and not man . . . and he who would be dear to God must, as far as is possible, be like Him and such as He is . . . the temperate man is the friend ...of God." From this Plato deduces (a) that service and prayers are accept- able to God from the good ; sacrifice from the bad is not PLATO 8i acceptable. After God men should honour their parents with their property, their persons, and their souls, "in return for the endless care and travail which they bestowed upon them of old, in the days of infancy." Laws, 728 : Next to God in honour is the soul, then the body : there is a natural honour of the body : riches should not be heaped up for one's children : "let parents bequeath to their children not a heap of riches but the spirit of reverence." Strangers and suppliants must be respected.
