16 Cleombrotus was moved to ask Philip who the young man was and whence he carne; and after learning his name and his city he said, It is not unwittingly, Heracleon, that we have become involved in strange arguments; but it is impossible, when discussing important matters, to make any progress in our ideas toward the probable truth without employing for this purpose important principles. But you unwittingly take back what you concede; for you agree that these demigods exist, but by your postulating that they are not bad nor mortal you no longer keep them; for in what respect do they differ from gods, if as regards their being they possess immortality and as regards their virtues freedom from all emotion or sin ?

17 As Heracleon was reflecting upon this in silence, Philip said, Not only has Empedocles bequeathed to us bad demigods, Heracleon, but so also have Plato, Xenocrates, and Chrysippus Cf. von Arnim, Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta, ii. 1104 (p. 321).; and, in addition, Demolitus, Cf. Diels, Frag. der Vorsokratiker, ii. p. 94, Democritus, no. 166; and Life of Timoleon, chap. i. (235 b). by his prayer that he may meet with propitious spirits, clearly recognized that there is another class of these which is perverse and possessed of vicious predilections and impulses.
