Tertullian,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. III, Apologetic…
(1885)
“ There is nothing strange in this, since men have their respective gods in their brothels, their kitchens, and even in their prison. Heaven, therefore, is crowded with innumerable gods of its own, both these and others belonging to the Romans, which have distributed amongst them the functions of one’s whole life, in such a way that there is no want of the other [13] gods. ”
