The Descent To Hades Is The Same

All Things Were Together, Infinite Both In Number And In Smallness; For The Small Too Was Infinite.

The Greeks Are Wrong To Recognize Coming Into Being And Perishing; For Nothing Comes Into Being Nor Perishes, But Is Rather Compounded Or Dissolved From Things That Are. So They Would Be Right To Call Coming Into Being Composition And Perishing Dissolution.

Neither Is There A Smallest Part Of What Is Small, But There Is Always A Smaller (for It Is Impossible That What Is Should Cease To Be). Likewise There Is Always Something Larger Than What Is Large.

Wrongly Do The Greeks Suppose That Aught Begins Or Ceases To Be; For Nothing Comes Into Being Or Is Destroyed; But All Is An Aggregation Or Secretion Of Preexisting Things; So That All Becoming Might More Correctly Be Called Becoming Mixed, And All Corruption, Becoming Separate.

The Purpose Of Life Is The Investigation Of The Sun, The Moon, And The Heavens.
