Origen

“ The remark which he made formerly we will turn against himself: “What old woman would not be ashamed to lull a child to sleep with such stories as he has inserted in the work which he entitles A True Discourse? ”

“ He next proceeds to jest, and, as his custom is, to pour ridicule upon the subject, introducing “two sons of God, one the son of the Creator, [1] and the other the son of Marcion’s God; and he portrays their single combats, saying that the Theomachies of the Fathers are like the battles between quails; [2] or that the Fathers, becoming useless through age, and falling into their dotage [3] do not meddle at all with one another, but leave their sons to fight it out.” ”
