The institution of temples and sacrifices, and the entire service

of gods, demigods, and heroes; also the ordering of the

repositories of the dead, and the rites which have to be observed

by him who would propitiate the inhabitants of the world below.

These are matters of which we are ignorant ourselves, and as

founders of a city we should be unwise in trusting them to any

interpreter but our ancestral deity. He is the god who sits in

the centre, on the navel of the earth, and he is the interpreter

of religion to all mankind.

You are right, and we will do as you propose.
