78 Or is it, as DionysiusDionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities, ii. 5. 5; Virgil, Aeneid, ix. 630, and Conington’s note on Virgil, Georgics, iv. 7. says, that when Ascanius, son of Aeneas, was drawing up his army against Mezentius, and his men were taking the auspices, a flash of lightning, which portended victory, appeared on the left, and from that time on they observe this practice in divination? Or is it true, as certain other authorities affirm, that this happened to Aeneas? As a matter of fact, the Thebans, when they had routed and overpowered their enemies on the left wing at Leuctra, Cf. Life of Pelopidas, xxiii. (289 d-e). continued thereafter to assign to the left the chief command in all battles.

78 Or Cf.Moralia, 363 e, 888 b. is it rather, as JubaMüller, Frag. Hist. Graec. iii. p. 471. declares, that as anyone looks eastward, the north is on the left, and some make out the north to be the right, or upper, side of the universe?

78 But consider whether it be not that the left is by nature the weaker side, and they that preside over auguries try to strengthen and prop its deficient powers by this method of equalization.

78 Or was it that they believed earthly and mortal matters to be antithetical to things heavenly and divine, and so thought that whatever was on the left for us the gods were sending forth from the right?

79 Why was it permitted to take up a bone of a man who had enjoyed a triumph, and had later died and been cremated, and carry it into the city and deposit it there, as PyrrhonMüller, Frag. Hist. Graec. iv. p. 479. of Lipara has recorded?
