Little by little, Bithynia, Galatia, and Thrace came pouring in, for everyone who carried the news very likely said that he not only had seen the god born but had subsequently touched him, after he had grown very great in a short time and had a face that looked like a mans. Next came paintings and statues and cult-images, some made of bronze, some of silver, and naturally a name was bestowed
