| ἦν οὖν νόμος ὅδε περὶ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ Κρόνου, καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ νῦν ἔτι ἔστιν ἐν θεοῖς, τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸν μὲν δικαίως τὸν βίον διελθόντα καὶ ὁσίως, ἐπειδὰν τελευτήσῃ, εἰς μακάρων νήσους ἀπιόντα οἰκεῖν ἐν πάσῃ εὐδαιμονίᾳ ἐκτὸς κακῶν, τὸν δὲ ἀδίκως καὶ ἀθέως εἰς τὸ τῆς τίσεώς τε καὶ δίκης δεσμωτήριον, ὃ δὴ Τάρταρον καλοῦσιν, ἰέναι. |
| Now in the time of Cronos there was a law amongst men which holds to this very day amongst the gods, that every man who has passed a just and holy life should go at his death to the Isles of the Blest to live in all happiness with no troubles, whereas everyone who has lived an unjust and holy life should go to the dungeon of requital and penance which they call Tartarus. |
| Plato Gorgias 523a1-c1 |
