2 Vide my article in the Classical Quarterly, 19^0, p. 186.
3 Vide Cults, iii. 1 89.
46 HIGHER ASPECTS OF GREEK RELIGION by Pindar, who narrates how Cheiron, the good centaur and trainer of heroes, gave such counsel to Achilles when he was leaving his father as, " Honour first of all Zeus, the lord of the loud-voiced thunder, and never amerce thy parents throughout their destined life of the honour due. "^ As for the higher ethic of the philosophic schools, its affinity or affilia- tio...n to the religion is a question of much labour and complexity, which I have only space to consider summarily and partially in regard to certain moral particulars. Plato, the most religious of the great philosophers, while indebted to Orphism for part of his ethical and psychical system, is inspired by the higher ideas of the contemporary polytheism in some of his moral reflections, especially in regard to his theory of family duties. This is most prominent in his Laws, the dullest and worst written of all his treatises, but perhaps the most valuable for the reflection it gives of the moral and religious world of his time.
