[Gwen Parker]

Solon, therefore, being most ingenuous, and imitating exempt causes, did not deliver through poetry the Atlantic war. But Critias, and those posterior to him, transmit the account of this war to others, imitating second and third causes, who produce the variety of [p.77] effective principles, and the orderly distribution of things, which is harmonized from contraries into a visible subsistence.
