Theta (UK: /ˈθiːtə/, US: /ˈθeɪtə/; uppercase: Θ or ϴ; lowercase: θ^{[note 1]} or ϑ; Ancient Greek: θῆτα thē̂ta [tʰɛ̂ːta]; Modern: θήτα thī́ta [ˈθita]) is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet, derived from the Phoenician letter Teth . In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 8.

Tim: Well let us state the reason why becoming and the universe were constructed by the
artificer. He was good, and in the good no envy 29E ever arises about anything and, being devoid
of envy he desired that all things be as much like himself as possible. We would then be
absolutely right to accept from men of understanding 30A that this is the supreme source of
becoming and of the cosmos. For the god desired that all be good and as far as possible nothing
be imperfect. He therefore took everything that was visible, which was not at rest but moving
discordantly and randomly, and he led it from disorder to order, regarding order as entirely
superior to disorder. But it was not then nor is it now, lawful for the supreme good to enact
anything except the supremely beautiful. So on reflection, 30B he discovered that, from whatever is
visible by nature nothing that is made without Nous is, on the whole, ever better than something
which possesses Nous. And furthermore that Nous cannot be present in anything in the absence of
soul. Based on this reflection, having placed Nous in soul, and soul in body, he constructed the
universe so that, once completed, it would naturally be as beautiful and excellent a piece of work
as was possible. Accordingly, based upon the likely account, we must state that this cosmos is a
living creature with soul and Nous that has, in truth, come into being through the providence of
god. 30C

Now God did not make the soul after the body, although we are speaking of them in this order; for having brought them together he would never have allowed that the elder should be ruled by the younger; but this is a random manner of speaking which we have, because somehow we ourselves too are very much under the dominion of chance. Whereas he made the soul in origin and excellence prior to and older than the body, to be the ruler and mistress, of whom the body was to be the subject. And he made her out of the following elements and on this wise: Out of the indivisible and unchangeable, and also out of that which is divisible and has to do with material bodies, he compounded a third and intermediate kind of essence, partaking of the nature of the same and of the other, and this compound he placed accordingly in a mean between the indivisible, and the divisible and material. He took the three elements of the same, the other, and the essence, and mingled them into one form, compressing by force the reluctant and unsociable nature of the other into the same. When he had mingled them with the essence and out of three made one, he again divided this whole into as many portions as was fitting, each portion being a compound of the same, the other, and the essence. And he proceeded to divide after this manner:-First of all, he took away one part of the whole [1], and then he separated a second part which was double the first [2], and then he took away a third part which was half as much again as the second and three times as much as the first [3], and then he took a fourth part which was twice as much as the second [4], and a fifth part which was three times the third [9], and a sixth part which was eight times the first [8], and a seventh part which was twenty-seven times the first [27]. After this he filled up the double intervals [i.e. between 1, 2, 4, 8] and the triple [i.e. between 1, 3, 9, 27] cutting off yet other portions from the mixture and placing them in the intervals, so that in each interval there were two kinds of means, the one exceeding and exceeded by equal parts of its extremes [as for example 1, 4/3, 2, in which the mean 4/3 is one-third of 1 more than 1, and one-third of 2 less than 2], the other being that kind of mean which exceeds and is exceeded by an equal number. Where there were intervals of 3/2 and of 4/3 and of 9/8, made by the connecting terms in the former intervals, he filled up all the intervals of 4/3 with the interval of 9/8, leaving a fraction over; and the interval which this fraction expressed was in the ratio of 256 to 243. And thus the whole mixture out of which he cut these portions was all exhausted by him. This entire compound he divided lengthways into two parts, which he joined to one another at the centre like the letter X, and bent them into a circular form, connecting them with themselves and each other at the point opposite to their original meeting-point; and, comprehending them in a uniform revolution upon the same axis, he made the one the outer and the other the inner circle. Now the motion of the outer circle he called the motion of the same, and the motion of the inner circle the motion of the other or diverse. The motion of the same he carried round by the side to the right, and the motion of the diverse diagonally to the left. And he gave dominion to the motion of the same and like, for that he left single and undivided; but the inner motion he divided in six places and made seven unequal circles having their intervals in ratios of two-and three, three of each, and bade the orbits proceed in a direction opposite to one another; and three [Sun, Mercury, Venus] he made to move with equal swiftness, and the remaining four [Moon, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter] to move with unequal swiftness to the three and to one another, but in due proportion.

First of all, he took away one part of the whole [1],

 and then he separated a second part 

which was double the first [2], 

and then he took away a third part

 which was half as much again as the second 

and three times as much as the first [3],

 and then he took a fourth part 

which was twice as much as the second [4],

 and a fifth part

 which was three times the third [9],

 and a sixth part

 which was eight times the first [8],

 and a seventh part 

which was twenty-seven times the first [27]

. After this he filled up the double intervals 

[i.e. between 1, 2, 4, 8] 

and the triple 

[i.e. between 1, 3, 9, 27] 

cutting off yet other portions 

from the mixture and 

placing them in the intervals,

 so that in each interval 

there were two kinds of means,

 the one exceeding and exceeded by

 equal parts of its extremes

 [as for example 1, 4/3, 2, in 

which the mean 4/3 is one-third of 1 more than 1, 

and one-third of 2 less than 2], 

the other being that kind of mean 

which exceeds and is exceeded 

by an equal number. 

Where there were intervals of 3/2 

and of 4/3 

and of 9/8

, made by the connecting terms 

in the former intervals,

 he filled up all the intervals of 4/3

 with the interval of 9/8

, leaving a fraction over

; and the interval which this fraction expressed

 was in the ratio

 of 256 to 243

Now the creation took up the whole of each of the four elements; for the
Creator compounded the world out of all the fire and all the water and
all the air and all the earth, leaving no part of any of them nor any
power of them outside. His intention was, in the first place, that the
animal should be as far as possible a perfect whole and of perfect parts:
secondly, that it should be one, leaving no remnants out of which
another such world might be created: and also that it should be free
from old age and unaffected by disease. Considering that if heat and
cold and other powerful forces which unite bodies surround and attack

es, Amynandros, if he had not treated poetry 
merely as a by-work, but had made a serious business of it like 
the rest, and if he had finished the legend which he brought 
hither from Egypt, instead of being compelled to abandon it by 
the factions and other troubles which he found here on his 
return, my belief is that neither Hesiod nor Homer nor any 
other poet would have enjoyed greater fame than he. What 
was.the legend, Kritias? asked Amynandros. It concerned a 
mighty achievement, he replied, and one that deserved to be the 
most famous in the world; a deed which our city actually per￾formed, but owing to time and the destruction of the doers 
thereof the story has not lasted to our times. Tell us from the 
beginning, said the other, what was the tale that Solon told, and 
how and from whom he heard it as true. 
There is in Egypt, said Kritias, in the Delta, at the apex of 
which the stream of the Nile divides, a province called the 
Saitic; and the chief city of this province is SaSais, the birthplace 
of Amasis the king. The founder of their city is a goddess, 
whose name in the Egyptian tongue is Neith, and in Greek, as 
they aver, Athena: the people are great lovers of the Athenians 
and claim a certain kinship with our countrymen. Now when 
Solon travelled to this city he said he was most honourably 
entreated by the citizens; moreover when he questioned con￾cerning ancient things such of the priests as were most versed 
therein, he found that neither he nor any other Grecian man, 
one might wellnigh say, knew aught about such matters.

But in this country neither 
then nor at any time does water fall from on high upon the 
fields, but contrariwise all rises up by nature from below. 
Wherefore and for which causes the legends preserved here are 
the most ancient that are told: but the truth is that in all places, 
where exceeding cold or heat does not forbid, there are ever 
human beings, now more, now fewer. Now whether at Athens 
or in Egypt, or in any other place whereof we have tidings, any￾thing noble or great or otherwise notable has occurred, we have 
all written down and preserved from ancient times in our temple 
here. But with you and other nations the commonwealth has 
only just been enriched with letters and all else that cities 
require: and again after the wonted term of years like a recur￾ring sickness comes rushing on them the torrent from heaven ; 
and it leaves only the unlettered and untaught among you, so 
that as it were ye become young again with a new birth, know￾ing nought of what happened in the ancient times either in our 
country or in yours. 

nd the date of our city’s foundation is 
recorded in our sacred writings to be eight thousand years ago. 
But concerning the citizens of Athens nine thousand years ago I 
will inform you in brief of their laws and of the noblest of the 
deeds which they performed: the exact truth concerning every￾thing we will examine in due order hereafter, taking the actual 
records at our leisure. 
Consider now their laws in comparison with those of our 
country ; for you will find here at the present day many exam￾ples of the laws which then existed among you :—first the 
separation of the priestly caste from the rest; next the distinc￾

Epsilon (/ˈɛpsɪlɒn/,^[1] UK also /ɛpˈsaɪlən/;^[2] uppercase Ε, lowercase ε or lunate ϵ; Greek: έψιλον) is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding phonetically to a mid front unrounded vowel IPA: [e̞] or IPA: [ɛ̝]. In the system of Greek numerals it also has the value five. It was derived from the Phoenician letter He . Letters that arose from epsilon include the Roman E, Ë and Ɛ, and Cyrillic Е, È, Ё, Є and Э.

The name of the letter was originally εἶ (Ancient Greek: [êː]), but it was later changed to ἒ ψιλόν (e psilon 'simple e') in the Middle Ages to distinguish the letter from the digraph αι, a former diphthong that had come to be pronounced the same as epsilon.

The uppercase form of epsilon is identical to Latin E but has its own code point in Unicode: U+0395 Ε GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON. The lowercase version has two typographical variants, both inherited from medieval Greek handwriting. One, the most common in modern typography and inherited from medieval minuscule, looks like a reversed number "3" and is encoded U+03B5 ε GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON. The other, also known as lunate or uncial epsilon and inherited from earlier uncial writing,^[3][4] looks like a semicircle crossed by a horizontal bar: it is encoded U+03F5 ϵ GREEK LUNATE EPSILON SYMBOL. While in normal typography these are just alternative font variants, they may have different meanings as mathematical symbols: computer systems therefore offer distinct encodings for them.^[3] In TeX, \epsilon ( ${\displaystyle �}$ ) denotes the lunate form, while \varepsilon ( ${\displaystyle �}$ ) denotes the reversed-3 form. Unicode versions 2.0.0 and onwards use ɛ as the lowercase Greek epsilon letter,^[5] but in version 1.0.0, ϵ was used.^[6] The lunate or uncial epsilon provided inspiration for the euro sign, €.^[7]
