Who does not see at a glance that this is\r\na mere whirlpool sucking men to moral destruction? For,\r\nhowever wicked men have been, if they suppose they shall\r\nbecome Larvæ or divine Manes, they will become the worse\r\nthe more love they have for inflicting injury; for, as the Larvæ\r\nare hurtful demons made out of wicked men, these men must\r\nsuppose that after death they will be invoked with sacrifices\r\nand divine honours that they may inflict injuries. But this\r\nquestion we must not pursue. He also states that the\r\nblessed are called in Greek εὐδαίμονες, because they are good\r\nsouls, that is to say, good demons, confirming his opinion that\r\nthe souls of men are demons.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK NINTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-646"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"72b865c1355cd28420616d0fa7388bb004572e6f1214da03faa43a8ac2f1fc08","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume I","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Book IV)","J.
