ταῦτα δὲ καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἔλεγεν, τὰ μὲν ἄλλα
ἐπαινοῦσα τοῦ συγγράμματος, ἓν δὲ τοῦτο οὐ
φέρουσα, ὅτι θεαῖς αὐτήν, Ἥρᾳ καὶ Ἀφροδίτῃ, εἴκασας: ‘ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ γάρ,’ φησίν, ‘ μᾶλλον δὲ ὑπὲρ ἅπασαν τὴν ἀνθρωπίνην φύσιν τὰ τοιαῦτα. ἐγὼ δέ σε οὐδ᾽ ἐκεῖνα ἠξίουν, ταῖς ἡρωΐναις
παραθεωρεῖν με Πηνελόπῃ καὶ Ἀρήτῃ καὶ Θεανοῖ,
οὐχ ὅπως θεῶν ταῖς ἀρίσταις. καὶ γὰρ αὖ
καὶ τόδε, πάνυ,’ ἔφη, ‘τὰ πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς
[p. 304] δεισιδαιμόνως καὶ ψοφοδεῶς ἔχω. δέδια τοίνυν
μὴ κατὰ τὴν Κασσιέπειαν εἶναι δόξω τὸν τοιοῦτον ἔπαινον προσιεμένη: καίτοι Νηρηΐσιν ἐκείνη ἀντεξητάζετο,Ἥραν δὲ καὶ Ἀφροδίτην ἔσεβεν.’
