>>25642868If you read The Death of Socrates quadrilogy you can very easily see that the starting point of post-Socratic philosophy, and much of what we understand as Greek wisdom, begins with the opposition to the traditional religion of the polis. Socrates is persecuted for disenfranchising the youths and holding heretical beliefs, the most important being his view of wisdom as being attained through reason and not through augury or religious ritual. Plato’s cosmology still invokes theistic entities but the value of his wisdom for modern ages stems from his opposition to dogmatic adherence to Greek religion.

>>25642868>>25643029There are many, many Greek works which argue against divination and all these strange rituals. Hippocrates’ on the sacred disease is the obvious one… As long as divination and theology has existed there’s been people in the other corner arguing it’s all bull crap.
