Moreover the divine Scripture blames those who
worship graven images, but also those who sacrifice to demons.
The Greeks sacrificed and the Jews also sacrificed: but the
Greeks to demons and the Jews to God. And the sacrifice of the
Greeks was rejected and condemned, but the sacrifice of the just was
very acceptable to God. For Noah sacrificed, and God smelled a
sweet savour Gen. viii. 21., receiving the
fragrance of the right choice and good-will towards Him. And so
the graven images of the Greeks, since they were images of deities,
were rejected and forbidden.
