Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, philosopher and Roman constitutionalist during Republican Rome. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and Prose stylists. He introduced Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary. His work was very influential.
One of his books titled 'On The Nature of the Gods' is a favourite of mine. In this Cicero explains that Diagoras the Melian, Theodores of Cyrene, Antisthenes and Plato have an incorrect conception of the Gods. One, because Diagoras and Theodores outright denied the existence of any God; and Antisthenes along with Plato claim that there are indeed "many national but *one* natural Deity." According to Cicero, by this saying they destroy the power and nature of the Gods. Speusippus, according to Cicero is also wrong in saying that a "certain incorporeal power governs everything;" by which he endeavours to root out of our minds the knowledge of the Gods.
