With the same ideas also are closely connected\r\nthe <i>peplos</i> of Athena, which is beheld by all in the procession\r\nof the <i>Panathenæa</i>. For it is manifest from this, he continues,\r\nthat a motherless and unsullied demon<a id=\"r1237\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1237\"><sup>[1237]</sup></a> has the mastery over\r\nthe daring of the Giants. While accepting, moreover, the\r\nfictions of the Greeks, he continues to heap against us such\r\naccusations as the following, viz., that “the Son of God is\r\npunished by the devil, and teaches us that we also, when\r\npunished by him, ought to endure it. Now these statements are\r\naltogether ridiculous. For it is the devil, I think, who ought\r\nrather to be punished, and those human beings who are calumniated\r\nby him ought not to be threatened with chastisement.”</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VI.","Chapter XLII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-437"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"009125d3b696311ba0a6ad053b02b8d464baf610a6fc535a2728f5bb5d83dce6","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
