Away, too, with the mythical tales of Acusilaus, and Menander, a versifier of the same class! And why should I admire the mythic piper? Why should I busy myself about the Theban Antigenides, 488 like Aristoxenus? We leave you to these worthless things; and do you either believe our doctrines, or, like us, give up yours.\nAntigenides was a flute-player, and Aristoxenus a writer on music and musical instruments.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol II: TATIAN: Chapter XXIV.
