Note 316 — Chapter II · SCIENCE AND RELIGION
Reading edition
Xenophanes calls his god “greatest among gods and men,” but this is simply a case of “polar expression,” to which parallels will be found in Wilamowitz’s note to the Herakles, v. 1106. Cf. especially the statement of Herakleitos (fr. 20) that “no one of gods or men” made the world.
