#what's funny is this dialogue is set during the panathenaic festival

We should accept on faith the assertions of those figures of the past who claimed to be the offspring of gods. They must surely have been well informed about their own ancestors. So we cannot avoid believing the children of gods, even though their accounts lack plausible or compelling proofs. Rather, we should follow custom and believe them, on the ground that what they claim to be reporting are matters of their own concern. Accordingly, let us accept their account of how these gods came to be and state what it is: Earth and Heaven gave birth to Ocean and Tethys, who in turn gave birth to Phorcys, Cronus and Rhea and all the gods in that generation. Cronus and Rhea gave birth to Zeus and Hera, as well as all those siblings who are called by names we know. These in turn gave birth to yet another generation. In any case....

I love how heavily the sarcasm comes across in this. Doing the absolute bare minimum to avoid being executed for impiety all because you didn't otherwise feel like working Zeus or whoever into the creation myth of your OC, mr. good demiurge. Still getting so bored about it that you give up anyway after dunking on the Heracleidae and naming a handful of the traditional gods.
