Greek literature, with the meaning discourse on the gods or cosmology. Aristotle divided theoretical philosophy into mathematics, phusike and theologike, with the latter corresponding roughly to metaphysics, which for aristotle included discussion of the nature of the divine. Drawing on
Greek sources, the Latin writer Varro influentially distinguished three forms of such discourse: mythical (concerning the myths of the
Greek gods), rational (philosophical analysis of the gods and of cosmology) and civil (concerning the rites and duties of public religious observance).
