While looking at old notes about the next danger I want to write about, I came across this quote by Salustius (4th century BC, writer, friend of emperor Julian) quoted in The Jesus Mysteries (excellent book by the way; Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, 1999):
"To wish to teach all men the truth of the gods causes the foolish to despise and the good to be slothful, whereas to conceal the truths by myths prevents the former from despising philosophy and compels the latter to study it."
