Question 12. Why do they esteem Saturn the father of
truth?
Solution. Is it not the reason that some philosophers
believe that Κρόνος (Saturn) is the same with Χρόνος (time),
and time finds out truth? Or is it for that which was fabled
of Saturn's age, that it was most just and most likely to
participate of truth?
Plutarch. Plutarch's Morals. Translated from the Greek by several hands. Corrected and revised by. William W. Goodwin, PH. D. Boston. Little, Brown, and Company. Cambridge. Press Of John Wilson and son. 1874. 2.
