32 Let this, then, be stated incidentally, as a matter of record that is common knowledge.

33 But the wiser of the priests call not only the Nile Osiris and the sea Typhon, but they simply give the name of Osiris to the whole source and faculty creative of moisture, Cf. 365 b, infra. believing this to be the cause of generation and the substance of life-producing seed; and the name of Typhon they give to all that is dry, fiery, and arid, Cf. 369 a and 376 f, infra. in general, and antagonistic to moisture. Therefore, because they believe that he was personally of a reddish sallow colour, Cf. 359 e and 363 b, supra. they are not eager to meet men of such complexion, nor do they like to associate with them.

33 Osiris, on the other hand, according to their legendary tradition, was dark, Cf. 359 e, supra. because water darkens everything, earth and clothes and clouds, when it comes into contact with them. Cf. Moralia, 950 a. In young people the presence of moisture renders their hair black, while greyness, like a paleness as it were, is induced by dryness in those who are passing their prime. Cf. Aristotle, De Generatione Animalium, v. 1 (780 b 6). Also the spring-time is vigorous, prolific, and agreeable; but the autumn, since it lacks moisture, is inimical to plants and unhealthful for living creatures.
