Protagoras and Meno

All the rivers flow together into this chasm and flow out of it again. And each river comes to be like the kind of earth through which it flows. The cause of all the streams flowing out from here, and flowing inside, is that this liquid has no base and no foundation. So it oscillates and surges back and forth, and the air and the wind around the liquid do the same. For they follow along with the liquid, both when it rushes towards the other side of the earth and when it rushes towards our side.
