Note 906 — Chapter VII · THE MAKING OF A GOD.

Plat. Legg. 717 A. The Olympian gods do not here concern us, but it may be worth noting that the gods who keep the state τοὺς τὴν πόλιν ἔχοντας θεούς, who are classed with the Olympians as of the first rank, seem to correspond with the ἀστυνόμοι and ἀγοραῖοι of Aeschylus (Ag. 90) who take rank with the οὐράνιοι. Some gods wherever found were Olympian, e.g. Zeus and Apollo; others though not Pan-Hellenically recognised took rank as such locally, e.g. Demeter.
