,"Timaeus: Surely anyone with any sense at all will always call upon a

god before setting out on any venture, whatever its importance. In our

case, we are about to make speeches about the universe—whether it

has an origin or even if it does not—and so if we're not to go completely

astray we have no choice but to call upon the gods and goddesses, and

pray that they above all will approve of all we have to say, and that in

consequence we will, too. Let this, then, be our appeal to the gods; to

ourselves we must appeal to make sure that you learn as easily as

way that best conveys my intent."
