Note 184 — CHAP. IX. (continued 2)

These twelve divinities, of which Jupiter is the head, are, Jupiter, Neptune, Vulcan, Vesta, Minerva, Mars, Ceres, Juno, Diana, Mercury, Venus, and Apollo. The first triad of these is demiurgic, the second comprehends guardian deities, the third is vivific, or zoogonic, and the fourth contains elevating gods. But, for a particular theological account of these divinities, study Proclus on Plato’s Theology, and you will find their nature unfolded, in page 403, of that admirable work.
