Strana 343 - At vero ingentem quatiens Mezentius hastam Turbidus ingreditur campo. Quam magnus Orion, Cum pedes incedit medii per maxima Nerei Stagna, viam scindens, humero supereminet undas; Aut summis referens annosam montibus ornum, Ingrediturque solo, et caput inter nubila condit : Talis se vastis infert Mezentius armis. Huic contra jEneas, speculatus in agmine longo, Obvius ire parat.
Strana 51 - We come, therefore, to the conclusion, that even a single inventor of a mythus, in the proper sense of the word, is out of the question.
Strana 197 - ... connection of the sign with the thing signified, I here assume. Now, symbols in this sense are evidently coeval with the human race ; they result from the union of the soul with the body in man ; nature has implanted the feeling for them in the human heart. How is it that we understand what the endless diversities of human expression and gesture signify? How comes it, that every physiognomy expresses to us spiritual peculiarities, without any consciousness on our part of the cause? Here experience...
Strana 61 - Epiwvs, *E/>ic, could have attained a generally believed reality, and even in some measure divine worship, otherwise than through a necessity, grounded on the epoch of mental development, to . contemplate in this manner as a unity, not only every aspect of nature, but also of human life ? How were it possible to pray to Charis, if she were only viewed as a predicate of human or higher natures ? It is even wrong to consider the worship paid by the Romans to Virtus, Felicitas, &c. as allegorical in...
Strana 61 - ... together with the more obvious of the great emotional agencies, Beauty, Love, War, but by degrees also the ideal products of a higher abstraction, as Wisdom, Justice, and the like, were severally accounted the work and manifestation of as many special divinities.
Strana 251 - Miiller [1797-1840] shower, the latter having been carried over from the mother-city. Now, I think we already see the path we must enter, in the interpretation of the mythus, distinctly traced before us, especially by the main position: Perseus a daemonic being in close union with the ancient Argive Pallas, as a goddess who blessed the land with fruitfulness. His daemonic nature is proved, not only by his wonderful achievements, but also in the clearest manner by the divine worship which he received...
Strana 186 - He who does not here recognize religion, genuine, true religion, for him have Moses and the prophets written in vain.
Strana 253 - ... goddess, the kindly nurse of seeds and plants. Then spring up the clear and living fountains, of which the horse is the symbol — as, in general, so Pegasus in particular, who was born at the fountains of Oceanus, was caught beside fountains, struck out fountains with his hoofs, in his name also a horse of fountains. Polydectes' demand of horses, and then the procuring of one by Perseus, are also a remnant of the symbolical legends. Accordingly, this mythus may be called a physical one if we...
Strana 187 - ... deity peculiar to any tribe was, from the beginning, common to all the members of the tribe ; that those who governed the people in the other concerns of life, naturally presided over their religious observances, the heads of families in private, and the rulers in the community ; and that it might be said with just as much truth, that the kings were priests, as that the priests were kings.
Strana 352 - The alleged highhandedness of great railroad magnates in withholding information from their stockholders has been a theme for moralists, but it does not seem to have occurred to any one that the worst offender of all is Uncle Sam.
