Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis.

<strong>PLATO</strong><br />
cuN. Be it laid down <strong>by</strong> all means.<br />
ATH, Next to these, it will be most proper to<br />
sing hymns and praise to the gods, coupled with<br />
prayers ; and after the gods will come prayers combined<br />
with praise to daemons and heroes, as is<br />
befitting to each.<br />
CLIN. To be sure.<br />
ATH. Tliis done, we may proceed at once without<br />
scruple to formulate this law : —all citizens who have<br />
attained the goal of life and have wrought with body<br />
or soul noble works and toilsome, and have been<br />
obedient to the laws, shall be regarded as fitting<br />
objects for praise.<br />
CUN. Certainly.<br />
ATH. But truly it is not safe to honour with<br />
hymns and praises those still living, before they have<br />
traversed the whole of life and reached a noble end.<br />
All such honours shall<br />
be equally shared <strong>by</strong> women<br />
as well as men who have been conspicuous for their<br />
excellence. As to the songs and the dances, this is<br />
the fashion in which the}' should be arranged.<br />
Among the compositions of the ancients there exist<br />
many fine old pieces of music, and likewise dances,<br />
from which we may select without scruple for the<br />
constitution we are founding such as are fitting and<br />
proper. To examine these and make the selection,<br />
we shall choose out men not under fifty years of age ;<br />
and whichever of the ancient songs are approved we<br />
shall adopt, but whichever fail to reach our standard,<br />
or are altogether unsuitable, we shall either reject<br />
entirely or revise and remodel. For this purpose<br />
we shall call in the advice of poets and musicians,<br />
