12 Yes, said Cleombrotus, I hear this from many persons, and I observe that the Stoic Conflagration, just as it feeds on the verses of Heracleitus and Orpheus, is also seizing upon those of Hesiod. But I cannot brook this talk of universal destruction; and such impossibilities, in recalling to our minds these utterances, especially those about the crow and the stag, must be allowed to revert upon those that indulge in such exaggeration. Does not a year include within itself the beginning and the end of all things which the Seasons and the Earth make grow, Cf. Diels, Frag. der Vorsokratiker, i. p. 97, Heracleitus, no. b 100. and is it not foreign to men’s ways to call it a generation? As a matter of fact you yourselves surely agree that Hesiod by the word generation means a man’s life. Is not that so?

12 Yes, said Demetrius.
