He was fond of philosophical speculations, and made the Romans acquainted with the rationalism of Euripides and Euhemerus.

(Euhemerus), quem noster et interpretatus, et secutus est prter cteros, Ennius.

Euhemerus was a firm upholder of the Cyrenaic philosophy, and by many ancient writers he was regarded as an atheist.

The work of Euhemerus was conceived in that spirit of vulgar rationalism, which is condemned by Plato in the Phaedrus.

I would much rather believe the Messenian (Euhemerus) than him.
