Although I think my favourite #Platonic divine etymology in the #Cratylus is Plato having Socrates say that #Athena/ #Athene means divine #Nous, the divine mind or intelligence. @OCRbot

Going through the #Cratylus from the above book haul, I really like how #Plato has #Socrates divine the meaning behind the name of #Zeus to reveal the underlying individual nature of Zeus as "the God through which all creatures have life".
