Summary/Abstract: As a necessary link, in the history of religious ideas, between polytheistic and monotheistic establishments, a remarkable concordance, sapiential continuity and epistemological harmony characterize the pre-Christian philosophical positions on lógos, a transcendent principle that actively assist the supreme power of divinity in the making, organizing and governing of the spiritual universe, being at the same time immanent to the material universe, as an intelligible and causative determiner.
