Full Text in Translation:
"There is an oracle of Necessity,
an ancient decree of the gods,
Eternal, sealed with solemn oaths,
That whenever one of the daimones, allotted long life,
Fouls his limbs by unwitting involvement in m rder,
Or in strife falsely swears an oath
He is exiled to wander for thrice ten thousand seasons,
Far from the blessed gods, being born in myriad
mortal forms, on the painful paths of life.
The force of aether chases him into the seas
The sea spews him forth upon the floor of earth,
And earth casts him into the rays of the shining sun.
The sun hurls him into the whirling aether's vortex.
Thus one receives him from the other, and all loathe him."
I, too, am one of these now, an exile from the gods
and a wanderer,
Trusting in raving strife."

What is God? (Quid est Deus?) For centuries, ancient and medieval philosophers have wrestled among themselves with all manner of questions regarding the first cause of all things, the nature of divinity, and our role in the created cosmos. For the first time in English, scholars and translators Dan Attrell (the Modern Hermeticist) and Dr. David Porreca are bringing theoretical hermetic texts to light from the original Latin.
