Note 383 — Chapter IV · PRE-CHRISTIAN GNOSTICS: THE ORPHICI
Reading edition
As in the statue at Megalopolis in Arcadia described by Pausanias, Bk VIII. c. 31, where Polycleitos portrayed the young god with a cup and a thyrsos, besides wearing cothurni, but with the eagle and the name of Zeus Φιλίος. Ael. Aristides, in Dionysum, says that Dionysos is Zeus himself, a doctrine which Justin Martyr, Cohort. c. XV, attributes to Orpheus.
