    ildren to some of our greatest authors, but also to cultivate a taste 
    
for

     what is purest and best in literature. The illust
  
     statues of the gods; and there they came, in time of trouble, to ask 
    
for

     help and comfort; and when they were happy they c

     she was selfish and jealous, and, like all such p
  
    avorite bird. She spent much of her time in weaving and embroidering, 
    
for

     she was very fond of this pastime. And then there
  
    rcury, fleet-footed Mercury. He was called “The Swift” and no wonder; 
    
for

     he had winged sandals, and could fly faster than 
  
    ome. Ceres was the goddess of the earth, and the people looked to her 
    
for

     bountiful harvests, and for the growth of everyth
  
    f the earth, and the people looked to her for bountiful harvests, and 
    
for

     the growth of everything that sprang from the ear
  
     man. But he was loved by every one, and especially by the shepherds; 
    
for

     he guarded their flocks from harm, and played his
  
    w. With cities and gardens, and cliffs and isles, And people upon you 
    
for

     thousands of miles?  Ah! you are so great, and I 
  
    l all love. Almost everybody loved Callisto and her little son Arcas; 
    
for

     she was fair and good, and kind to all who knew h
  
     seemed to smile on her. I said that almost everybody loved Callisto; 
    
for

     although her little boy and all her companions an
  
    y fond of her, there was one who did not love her, and that was Juno. 
    
For

     some reason, Juno could not bear to look at Calli
  
    and behind trees whenever she heard the patter of feet on the ground. 
    
For

     although her body was like a bear’s, her thoughts
  
    elings were still human, and she feared the wild beasts of the woods. 
    
For

     fifteen long years, poor Callisto lived lonely an
  
    his cheery smile; in vain the birds sang their happy songs. She cared 
    
for

     none of them, and no longer responded to the beau
  
     over the hills; and then she trembled and crouched behind the trees, 
    
for

     she did not want them to find her. Many a time he
  
    w, standing within a few feet of him, a great, shaggy bear. Callisto, 
    
for

     it was she, did not hear the sound of footsteps u
  
    ent Jupiter appeared, and snatched both bow and arrow from his hands. 
    
For

     Jupiter had always loved Callisto, and he was sor
  
    om his hands. For Jupiter had always loved Callisto, and he was sorry 
    
for

     the harm his wife had done to one so good and gen
  
    ife had done to one so good and gentle. To make up as far as he could 
    
for

     Juno’s cruelty, he changed both mother and son in
  
    n palace. Neptune promised to do as she wished, and he kept his word, 
    
for

     from that day to this, the Great Bear and the Lit
  
    d one fair young daughter, whom she loved very dearly. And no wonder, 
    
for

     Proserpine was the sunniest, happiest girl you co
  
    and of the dead, lived dark King Pluto; and the days were very lonely 
    
for

     him with only shadows to talk to. Often and often
  
    light and beautiful.” But he knew it would be useless to ask the girl 
    
for

     her consent; so, with a bold stride, he stepped i
  
    ally came running to meet her, was nowhere to be seen. Ceres searched 
    
for

     her in all the rooms, but they were empty. Then s
  
     the fires of a volcano, and went wandering among the fields, looking 
    
for

     her child. When morning broke, and she had found

for

     her child.”  Ceres (Glyptothek, Munich).  On that
  
    he world. It seemed as though the great earth grieved with the mother 
    
for

     the loss of beautiful Proserpine. When the starvi
  
    pine was found, she could think only of her child, and could not care 
    
for

     the neglected earth. So all the people cried alou
  
     aloud to Jupiter that he should bring Proserpine back to her mother, 
    
for

     they were sadly in need of great Ceres’ help. At 
  
     her eyes were heavy with weeping. I can stay no longer now, O Ceres, 
    
for

     I must leap into the sunshine. The bright sky cal
  
    t alas! that very day Proserpine had eaten six pomegranate seeds; and 
    
for

     every one of those seeds she was doomed each year
  
    of those seeds she was doomed each year to spend a month underground. 
    
For

     six months of the year Ceres is happy with her da
  
    th us all the earth seems fair and beautiful. But when the time comes 
    
for

     Proserpine to rejoin King Pluto in his dark home

for

     the loss of the fair, young queen; and the flower

for

     a house. Best of all, by the side of the cave, ra

for

    was as lovely a home as any one could wish for. And here Latona lived 
    
for

     a long, long time. She was very happy, and hoped 
  
    d to go from the home where she had been so happy, she hastened away, 
    
for

     she feared that otherwise Juno might harm her two
  
    em, not herself, from the sun. The mother was glad to suffer anything 
    
for

     her children’s sake. She had been walking for day
  
    glad to suffer anything for her children’s sake. She had been walking 
    
for

     days and days, the hot sand burning her tender fe
  
     the hot sand burning her tender feet, and her throat dry and parched 
    
for

     lack of water, when suddenly she saw in the dista
  
    sheaves. Latona bent and tried to reach the pure water with her lips, 
    
for

     both her arms were burdened with the children. Bu

     all to enjoy! I am weary from long wandering over

for

     me,” she said, “you cannot be so cruel to these l
  
    ed men to be more gentle. But they were very hard-hearted indeed, and 
    
for

     answer they began to kick mud and stones into the

     Latona, her time of suffering was almost over. Th

     yourselves whether or not it is true, any day whe
  
    he found out that Echo amused her in this way only to please Jupiter. 
    
For

     Jupiter sometimes grew tired of Juno, and wished

for

     he loved no one but himself. One day he was wande

for

     the power to speak to him. But alas! she could no
  
    speak to him. But alas! she could not speak. They went on in this way 
    
for

     some time, Narcissus parting the branches in sear
  
    ered, ‘Here’.”  Echo ( Roberts ).  The youth was very much surprised, 
    
for

     he had thought himself alone in the woods. He loo
  
    h time Echo answered in his own words. She did not dare show herself, 
    
for

     fear that he might be angry, but you see she coul
  
     to throw her arms around his neck, to tell him her love in that way;

for

     many hours, and at last, worn out with the heat a

for

     reflected in the smooth surface, was the most bea

for

     food or for sleep, and night and day he lay upon

for

     sleep, and night and day he lay upon the grass, g
  
    r silver car through the heavens, the poor boy could scarcely breathe 
    
for

     marveling at the beauty of his own face. Slowly h
  
     “Farewell!” The nymphs of the rivers and the wood nymphs all mourned 
    
for

     their dead friend. And they prepared the funeral 
  
    ll mourned for their dead friend. And they prepared the funeral pile, 
    
for

     in those days people used to burn the bodies of t
  
    us throughout Greece, and princes and merchants paid her great prices 
    
for

     her wonderful embroidery.   7. “So graceful she l

for

     repentance. The goddess seized the beautiful web,
  
    one of her race, spinning and spinning away at a web, as a punishment 
    
for

     that foolish girl’s vanity. ———  “Twist Ye, Twine
  
    human life.  Passions wild and follies vain, Pleasures soon exchanged 
    
for

     pain; Doubt and jealousy and fear, In the magic d
  
    tell you what it looked like, and so wicked and cruel that the people 
    
for

     miles around the swampy land where it dwelt lived

For

     no sooner had the sun god caught a glimpse of the

for

     fear she might hurt herself on the thorns and bra
  
    some little angry thing, Some serpent on a tiny wing.  A bee it was — 
    
for

     once, I know, I heard a rustic call it so.” Thus 
  
    harm people that they would forget all their bad thoughts, and become 
    
for

     a while as lovely as the sounds they heard. Now O
  
    he dewy morning; and it did not take Orpheus’ music to make her good, 
    
for

     she had never had a thought that was not pure and
  
    grief was terrible to see. He took up his beloved lyre, but its charm 
    
for

     him was gone. He drew from it such low, sad strai
  
    w, sad strains, that even the rocks and the trees were moved to tears 
    
for

     his sorrow. At last he could bear his loneliness 
  
    eath. Charon at first refused to carry him across; but Orpheus played 
    
for

     him so sweetly that the stern boatman was melted 
  
     her. In vain Orpheus tried to get back into Hades; and after sitting 
    
for

     seven days on the bank of the river, without touc
  
     the bank of the river, without touching food of any kind or sleeping 
    
for

     an instant, he sadly returned to the green earth.
  
    here he lived with only the birds and the trees and the wild animals; 
    
for

    , since he could not have Eurydice, he cared for n
  
    and the wild animals; for, since he could not have Eurydice, he cared 
    
for

     no other companions. But the birds and the wild b
  
    s and the flowers loved him dearly, and tried to show their gratitude 
    
for

     the sweet music he made for them. They did, indee
  
    dearly, and tried to show their gratitude for the sweet music he made 
    
for

     them. They did, indeed, comfort him, and he lived
  
    t music he made for them. They did, indeed, comfort him, and he lived 
    
for

     a long time in this sorrowful quiet. So time pass
  
    mad women they were, and their king afterwards punished them severely 
    
for

     their heartless action. They cast the singer’s bo
  
    py tears my eyes were dim;     I called him, “Oh, sweet love! I come, 
    
for

     thou art all to me; Go forth, and I will follow t
  
    der the trees. No one ever dared to enter these quiet, hidden groves, 
    
for

     they were sacred to Diana and her nymphs. Actaeon
  
     had caught scent of the trail. One day, Actaeon had been out hunting 
    
for

     many hours. He was tired and thirsty, and he look
  
    hunting for many hours. He was tired and thirsty, and he looked about 
    
for

     some spot in which to rest. Suddenly he heard the
  
    ying of his own dogs, coming to join him. Ah! he must hide from them, 
    
for

     they would not know their master hidden in that b
  
     boat, and set them adrift on the great, wide sea. They floated about 
    
for

     many days, and Danaë held her little boy close, a
  
     gave Danaë and her little boy a home. The mother and son lived there 
    
for

     many years, until Perseus was no longer a little 
  
    young man. Now the king of the island was a wicked and cruel man, who 
    
for

     some reason hated Danaë and Perseus, and wished t
  
     of them. So he planned some means of getting Perseus out of the way, 
    
for

     the wicked king knew that if the boy were gone he
  
    an the deadly bite of the snakes, was the power of their fierce eyes; 
    
for

     whoever looked a Gorgon in the face, was immediat
  
    in thinking that Perseus would never return to the island. So he sent 
    
for

     the boy, and when he stood before him, began to p
  
    ought that, my boy, I would let you undertake a task that I am saving 
    
for

     the bravest man in my kingdom.” “And do you think
  
    telling him the whole story. When he had finished, Mercury sat silent 
    
for

     a few moments, lost in deep thought, and then sai
  
    ead of having two eyes each, as you and I have, there was but one eye 
    
for

     all three of them. They took turns in using that 
  
    hey were passing the eye from one to another, all three sisters were, 
    
for

     the moment, blind. But such an eye as that one wa
  
    hings that were happening in countries far away. They were interested 
    
for

     a while; but at length, one of them grew impatien
  
     trembled in his winged shoes. However, he need not have been afraid, 
    
for

     the sisters fell to quarreling about the eye, and
  
    in the direction from which the voice came. But Perseus was too quick 
    
for

     them. On his winged feet he rose high in the air,
  
     back swiftly to the grove where Mercury was waiting, and thanked him 
    
for

     all his help, and, after bidding him farewell, st
  
    island where the terrible Gorgons lived. He dared not look down, even 
    
for

     an instant, for fear of being turned to stone. Bu
  
     terrible Gorgons lived. He dared not look down, even for an instant, 
    
for

     fear of being turned to stone. But Minerva’s brig
  
     a cloth, went to greet his mother. She was overjoyed to see her son, 
    
for

     she had long since decided that he must be dead. 
  
    t had taken a long, long time to reach the island where Medusa lived; 
    
for

     it was so far away that no one but the three sist
  
     the palace. The king was more surprised than pleased to see Perseus, 
    
for

     he, too, had thought him dead. “Aha, Perseus!” he
  
     you must prove by showing us the head,” said the king, with a sneer; 
    
for

    , of course, he did not believe Perseus. “Since yo
  
    . When the people heard what had happened, there was great rejoicing, 
    
for

     they had all feared and hated the cruel king. Per
  
    had all feared and hated the cruel king. Perseus chose a better ruler

     them, under whom they lived in peace and happines

for

     which the oracle would utter words of warning or

for

     whose vanity she was to die. And Cassiopeia herse

for

     she could not bear to look her child in the face.
  
     chains to an overhanging rock. Then they stood sadly around, waiting 
    
for

     the coming of the monster who was to devour the f
  
    ified shriek; and all the people covered their eyes with their hands, 
    
for

     they could not bear to see what was to happen. Al
  
    at the rescued girl was as good and lovable as she was fair, he asked 
    
for

     her hand in marriage. As for Andromeda, she had l
  
    od and lovable as she was fair, he asked for her hand in marriage. As 
    
for

     Andromeda, she had loved Perseus from the moment 
  
    dly consented to be his wife. The girl’s parents now began to prepare 
    
for

     the wedding, and the whole village was invited to
  
    omeda’s parents were very much afraid. Some time before, he had asked 
    
for

     their daughter as his wife, and the parents had b
  
     sudden stop, and stood there motionless, his sword raised to strike; 
    
for

     Perseus had lifted the terrible Gorgon’s head, an
  
    h her along the banks of the stream. Io did not know who Jupiter was, 
    
for

     he came disguised as a boy; and she thought him o
  
    ame disguised as a boy; and she thought him only a pleasant companion 
    
for

     her walks. But Juno hated Io; for, as you remembe
  
    ought him only a pleasant companion for her walks. But Juno hated Io; 
    
for

    , as you remember, I have told you what a jealous 
  
     a jealous queen she was, and she could not bear to have Jupiter care 
    
for

     any one besides herself. So one day, when he had 
  
     any one besides herself. So one day, when he had been away from home 
    
for

     many hours, she suddenly made up her mind to go d
  
    rvants, Argus, to watch the cow. And a very good watchman Argus made; 
    
for

     he had a hundred eyes, and no matter how tired he
  
     night, we should find it hard to do anything they did not see. Never 
    
for

     a moment was Io left unguarded. At night she was 
  
    and even her father only patted her neck and plucked some fresh grass 
    
for

     her. But that was too much for the poor girl, — n
  
     her neck and plucked some fresh grass for her. But that was too much 
    
for

     the poor girl, — not to have her own father know 
  
    “Hail stranger! Come share this stone with me; here are rich pastures 
    
for

     your flocks, and shade such as shepherds love.” M
  
    tchman never closed more than half his eyes. So they had been sitting 
    
for

     a long time, when at last Argus asked the shepher
  
     not overtake her. “At last she came to a stream, and here she prayed 
    
for

     help, to her sisters, the water nymphs. They hear
  
    ere they shine in splendor to this day. But alas! the queen blamed Io 
    
for

     all her trouble, and, to punish her, sent a large
  
    er so fair and good that they made her their queen. She lived happily 
    
for

     many years, until she grew old and died. Then the
  
    s a very great city indeed, and there were many troublesome questions 
    
for

     the king and queen to decide, if they wished to r
  
     a child. Niobe’s people did not love her so much as they feared her; 
    
for

     although she was gentle and tender and loving in

for

     if all my wealth and power were taken from me, I

for

     I am greater than Latona.” At these words the fri

for

     there had been so much sorrow in her life that sh
  
     the ground with cries of anguish. But her pride was not yet humbled, 
    
for

    , raising her arms toward heaven, she cried, “You 
  
    you have broken my heart. Yet I am still greater and richer than you, 
    
for

     I have seven children left, and you have only two
  
    Apollo and Diana, on seeing Niobe’s terrible grief, felt almost sorry 
    
for

     their deed, and thought she had been punished eno
  
    was changed to marble. The marble image of grief stood upon the plain 
    
for

     many days; until at last there came a mighty hurr
  
     Niobe wept on forever. ———  Children  Come to me, O ye children!     
    
For

     I hear you at your play, And the questions that p
  
    rk before.  What the leaves are to the forest,     With light and air 
    
for

     food, Ere their sweet and tender juices     Have

For

     what are all our contrivings     And the wisdom o

For

     ye are living poems,     And all the rest are dea

for

     making him unhappy, — she made him a slave to the

for

     Hercules to bear than slavery; for he had a restl

     he had a restless spirit, which made him chafe ni
  
    elve very difficult tasks. Nothing could have suited Hercules better, 
    
for

     he delighted in danger and deeds of valor. And th
  
    bors of Hercules. It would take too long to tell you much about them, 
    
for

     each is a story in itself. There were monsters an
  
    t any moment, and take on the form of an animal. So when the time set 
    
for

     the match arrived, both the suitors went with lig
  
    went with light hearts to the meeting place. The king gave the signal 
    
for

     the start, and the two mighty ones fell upon each
  
    y bull dashed at Hercules with terrible force; but the hero was ready 
    
for

     the attack, and, seizing him by the horns, held h
  
    e, and yielded his claim. So Hercules gained the king’s fair daughter 
    
for

     his bride. In that last fierce struggle, one of t
  
    ape that she filled it with her autumn fruits and flowers and took it 
    
for

     her emblem. And this is the story of the origin o
  
     of course he could cross a stream when it would have been impossible 
    
for

     a man to do so. Hercules accepted the kind offer,
  
    les accepted the kind offer, and with the maiden on his back, Nessus, 
    
for

     that was the centaur’s name, started to wade the 
  
    ging to see other lands and to do other great deeds became too strong 
    
for

     him. So one day he started on his journeys. His w
  
    hen, at last, she remembered the words of the dying centaur. She sent 
    
for

     her most faithful servant, and giving him the shi
  
    and to say that she sent him her love and asked him to wear the shirt 
    
for

     her sake. Little did the poor woman know what she
  
    d little did the innocent servant dream of the fate that was in store 
    
for

     him. He traveled many miles, and at last came to 
  
    n the seashore, crying aloud in his torture. The servant stood amazed 
    
for

     a moment, and then hid himself, in terror, behind
  
     form; and the rock still stands far out in the middle of the sea. As 
    
for

     Hercules, when he found that he could not free hi
  
    scribe it. The king wished to imprison it in a safe place, and it was 
    
for

     this creature that Daedalus had built the labyrin
  
    th and the Minotaur who lived in it. But now let us go back to Athens 
    
for

     a while. Daedalus had a nephew named Perdix, a ve
  
    uld some day be far greater than his uncle. Thus all the uncle’s love 
    
for

     his nephew was turned to hatred, and he was anxio
  
    the white-sailed vessels on the water, and longed to have one of them 
    
for

     his own. One day Icarus was looking now up into t

for

     himself and his son, and fly from this island in 
  
    aid, “Icarus, my boy, watch me all the time, and follow where I lead; 
    
for

     if you go too low the water may clog your wings, 
  
     the father ever turning to see that his son was following in safety. 
    
For

     a while Icarus followed where Daedalus led the wa
  
     killed, and he felt that the death of his own son was his punishment 
    
for

     that wicked deed. For a long time after that, the
  
    hat the death of his own son was his punishment for that wicked deed. 
    
For

     a long time after that, the place was known as th
  
    ay, “Where the topmost twigs in the breezes sway!  “Come up! come up! 
    
for

     the world is fair, Where the merry leaves dance i

     a prince. Every year the people of Athens had a f

for

     he was a frank, generous youth, and most skillful
  
     in which he took part. Only Aegeus, the king of Athens, did not care 
    
for

     him. He was jealous of this young stranger; and o
  
    d. Perhaps the people of Athens might have blamed their king severely 
    
for

     this cruel act, had not something happened which

    ell, he started for Athens, The journey to Athens was very dangerous,

for

     unwary travelers; and the forests on either side

for

     his son. He threw open the gates of the palace to
  
    st beside itself with joy, King Minos, in Crete, waited day after day 
    
for

     the return of his son. But alas! cruelly slain, h
  
    Minos saw his murdered son, and heard the story of his death, he wept 
    
for

     many a day, and vowed that he would take vengeanc

for

     war. ———  Rise! For the Day Is Passing  Rise! for

    f only she could fly out of the gates and tell him how much she cared 
    
for

     him, she would do anything to win his love. No so
  
     mind than it was followed by another. “Perhaps if I opened the gates 
    
for

     him he would love me; but I will not, for that wo
  
    rhaps if I opened the gates for him he would love me; but I will not, 
    
for

     that would mean being a traitor, not only to my c
  
     to my city, but to my own father.” The girl loved her father dearly, 
    
for

     he was very kind to her, and would do anything to
  
     from off his head. She did not even feel ashamed of the wicked deed, 
    
for

     she could no longer think of anything but King Mi
  
    efore the astonished king. “I am the king’s daughter,” she said, “and 
    
for

     your sake I have stolen my father’s purple lock,

for

     they could not leave the city without falling int

for

     his murdered son. He said that every year the peo
  
    black balls went away with King Minos, and were given to the Minotaur 
    
for

for

     which he was now to lose his own son! Theseus tri

     they thought no human being could. overcome that

for

     her help, did as she told him, and entered the ga

for

     fear of waking him from his sleep, Theseus crept

for

     she had loved the prince from the moment when fir

for

     she knew the pitcher must soon be empty, and ther
  
     they had eaten enough, and would now like a place in which to sleep; 
    
for

     they had come a great distance that day, and were

     the couple were just as simple and hospitable in

for

     centuries in front of the temple of Jupiter. And 
  
    o loved each other very dearly. After they had lived together happily 
    
for

     many years, the king had to journey to a distant 
  
    consult an oracle. He grieved much at the thought of leaving Halcyone 
    
for

     so long a time, and she tried to make him give up

for

     a long time, thinking about Medea, and the tasks

for

     where her limbs had been, there were now six horr

for

     Scylla many a day, and never again went near the

     now that Hyacinthus was gone, he turned to this o
  
     lyre, for now that Hyacinthus was gone, he turned to this old friend 
    
for

     this old friend for comfort. And he sang a song of love and mourning

for

     none of them. The women he created in marble seem
  
    he passed his time singing at his work, and perfectly happy in living 
    
for

     that alone. At last, one day, a beautiful thought
  
    tear himself away from the marble image. He named his statue Galatea, 
    
for

     he felt almost as though it were a real woman. Th
  
    e could no longer sing at his work; in fact, he could no longer work, 
    
for

     he loved that fair image so dearly that he spent 
  
    oddess of love, would take pity on him; and since he could never care 
    
for

     any other woman, that she who could work such won
  
     and slowly stepped down from the pedestal. She loved him, of course; 
    
for

     Venus had not only turned the marble to life, she
  
    love. Pygmalion was very happy, and when he had given thanks to Venus 
    
for

     her great kindness to him, he and Galatea were ma
  
    eetest singer in the world; therefore it was a very bold thing indeed 
    
for

     Pan to challenge him. Yet Apollo agreed to take p
  
    d large dreamy eyes that seemed to have looked on the hills about him 
    
for

     hundreds of summers and winters. Midas, clothed i
  
     as though a wild beast had been suddenly startled from its lair. Yet 
    
for

     the first time, the listeners found his music a l

for

     joy. Even Pan threw down his flute before this wo
  
     Pan’s music was far more beautiful than the sun god’s. To punish him 
    
for

     this stupid use of his ears, Apollo changed them

for

     thinking of it; and yet he dared not confide it t

for

     his stupid judgment. But Midas could not have bla
  
    ve blamed the barber, even if he had known about his midnight errand; 
    
for

     in truth the poor fellow had never breathed the s
  
    ging; All the hearts of men were softened By the pathos of his music; 
    
For

     he sang of peace and freedom, Sang of beauty, lov
  
    his, together with their one fiery eye, gave them a very fierce look. 
    
For

     these strange beings, instead of having two eyes,
  
     see how he looked. It seemed to him that he looked very well indeed, 
    
for

    , of course, hugeness and shagginess and one flami
  
    shagginess and one flaming eye formed the very highest type of beauty

for

     the eyes. Just then they passed a great river, an
  
     great river, and Proserpina listened to hear the music of the water, 
    
for

     that was a sound she loved. But the murmur was no
  
     that of earthly rivers. Somehow it made her shudder and shrink back, 
    
for

     it seemed to be all of sighs and groans. “That is

For

     the swamps of Greece had produced a monstrous ser

for

     the beauty of her face had a nobleness and streng

for

     his mother, Alcmena, had told him. Then, lifting

for

     weapons now. Hercules caught the monster by the n

for

     he squeezed the life quite out of the beast. Ever

for

     Eurystheus. These twelve tasks were called the “T

for

     a day the great three-headed dog, Cerberus, from 
  
    ell him. They advised him to seek out Nereus, the old man of the sea, 
    
for

     he could surely tell where the gardens were. Then

for

     Nereus. He almost despaired of ever finding him, 
  
     near as quietly as he could and clasped him tightly about the waist, 
    
for

     Nereus must be conquered before he will talk. The
  
    twinkling the god had disappeared in the depth of the sea. The search 
    
for

     Atlas was long and hard, and Hercules met with ma

for

     he held Antæus high in the air, and so strangled 
  
    Caucasus. There he found Prometheus, bound to a cliff, as he had been 
    
for

     ages, exposed to wind and snow and rain, and to t

for

for

     Alcestis’ hand; and had been told that he might,

for

     this was a task passing the power of mortal men.

for

     he did not wish to burden him with needless sorro

     I value you no less because you come without a gi
  
     me, then, the head of the Gorgon Medusa. That would be a great gift, 
    
for

     whoever looks on the Gorgon is changed at once to
  
    wrap the head in his mantle was the work of a second. Then he started 
    
for

     the door, but the other Gorgons sprang up with a 
  
     swift golden wings were tireless and their scent was never deceived. 
    
For

     two days and nights they followed him close. Only
  
    e hushed. In a few moments what a change! The king and queen now wept 
    
for

     joy. Rich sacrifices were offered to the gods of 
  
    rifices were offered to the gods of Ocean, and preparations were made 
    
for

     a great feast of thanksgiving. But Perseus sacrif
  
     Cepheus cried to Perseus: — “What shall I give you, young hero? Ask, 
    
for

     you shall have it, even to the half of my kingdom
  
    olydectes and was not moved by his threats. On the tenth day she went 
    
for

     safety to the temple of Minerva. When the king ca
  
     to seek her, he found her there, sitting beside the altar. The king, 
    
for

     all his anger, dared do her no harm, for he feare
  
     beside the altar. The king, for all his anger, dared do her no harm, 
    
for

     he feared the great goddess of wisdom; but he lef
  
    ero, with his queenly mother and his beautiful bride, set out at last 
    
for

     Argos and Greece, where his own kingdom awaited h
  
      Of his own young wedded love. And, ah, too sure that arrow sped,    
    
For

     pale at his feet he sees her lie; — “I die, I die
  
    ord and a pair of sandals. I must leave you to-day, and you must care 
    
for

     our child alone. Keep him with you until he is ab
  
    d the sword,” she said, “and go to Athens to your father, King Ægeus, 
    
for

     the time has come when I must lose you.” Next day
  
     His grandfather and those of the court would have had him go by sea, 
    
for

     the way to Athens by land was full of dangers, bu
  
    ad his first fight, and it was a hard one; but in the end the robber, 
    
for

     all his iron club, lay dead upon the ground, and 
  
    Where the fierce-hearted chief of the plundering clan    Lies in wait 
    
for

     the life of the wayfaring man:            There, 
  
    eal. Then he led him to the bedroom. Now, Procrustes had only one bed 
    
for

     strangers, and he made them all fit it. If they w
  
    , and said: — “Drink, Theseus. Refresh yourself and be of good cheer, 
    
for

     the king loves you well.” Then Theseus took the w
  
    goblet from his hand, and it fell with a crash upon the marble floor. 
    
For

     at that moment the king had recognized the sword 
  
     O Ægeus, and I got it by raising the great stone.” The old king wept 
    
for

     joy. But he would have slain Medea. The enchantre
  
    ven beautiful maidens to feed the Minotaur. Thus do we pay King Minos 
    
for

     the death of his son.” “Tell me about it,” said T
  
    any prizes and much honor, but some of his jealous rivals lay in wait 
    
for

     him after the celebrations and slew him. Then Kin
  
    wice we have sent the awful tribute, and now lots must be drawn again 
    
for

     the third time.”  Didst thou hear the voice of wo
  
    ind. “Choose but six young men,” he said to those who drew the lots, “
    
for

     I will sail in the black ship with the men and th
  
    dark vessel slowly disappearing in the distance, they lamented much. “
    
For

     how can even. Theseus, unarmed, slay the Minotaur
  
    e as she was beautiful. That night Theseus paced up and down his room 
    
for

     many hours. He was thinking of the fight with the
  
    y the beast now, fair princess,” he said. “All Athens shall thank you 
    
for

     this.” “But you do not know all the danger,” said
  
    you would starve in the confusing paths. But you shall not, stranger, 
    
for

     I will save you from this danger also.” Then she 
  
    n, unwind this,” she said. “The way back will then be easy. Come now, 
    
for

     you must act quickly.” So Theseus and Ariadne wen
  
    it, and hid her face in her hands. But now the Minotaur began to hunt 
    
for

     Theseus, and Theseus, as often as he heard the aw
  
     it looked at him with its fierce, cunning, hungry eyes, he hated it, 
    
for

     it was like a beast, and was yet more like a crue
  
    hough he were about to flee. The Minotaur gave a roar of triumph, and 
    
for

     a moment was off its guard. But in that moment Th
  
    the goddess of wisdom and courage, and to Venus, the goddess of love, 
    
for

     it was these two who had given Theseus his lovely
  
     apple in their midst upon the table. On the apple were these words: “
    
For

     the fairest.” Immediately a dispute arose, for qu
  
    ple were these words: “For the fairest.” Immediately a dispute arose, 
    
for

     queenly Juno, and wise Minerva, and Venus, the go
  
    of old King Priam, but he had been born under such an evil omen that, 
    
for

     the safety of the kingdom, Priam had been compell

for

     the coming of the goddesses. At last the crimson 
  
    ison, but he forgot her altogether when he saw these glorious beings, 
    
for

     the goddesses had come in all their splendor stra
  
    warrior, and King Menelaus came from the Greeks and in due form asked 
    
for

     Helen. They promised to depart in peace, even the
  
    , there was a strong army, but it dared not venture outside the gate, 
    
for

     fear of the mighty Achilles and his men. It happe
  
     maiden came to the Grecian camp, bringing precious gifts as a ransom 
    
for

     his child, and beseeching Agamemnon to set her fr
  
    beseeching Agamemnon to set her free. He did not obtain her, however, 
    
for

     the leader of the Greeks wished to keep her as hi
  
    mp. Then the priest prayed to Apollo to take vengeance upon Agamemnon 
    
for

     the deed, and Apollo heard him. The god of light 
  
    k, but Achilles rose and said to him, “Speak freely and fear nothing, 
    
for

     I will defend you from harm, even though you shal
  
     take Briseis, Achilles’ share of the plunder and his favorite slave. 
    
For

     this threat, Achilles would have slain Agamemnon,
  
    d him and caught him by his golden hair, and said: — “Do him no harm, 
    
for

     you shall yet have justice done you.” So Achilles
  
    the goddess mother of Achilles, went up to Olympus and prayed Jupiter 
    
for

     aid, and Jupiter took a great oath that she and h
  
    said: — “Let us take our men and lead them to the help of the Greeks, 
    
for

     they are in sore need of aid. Many are slain and 
  
    gainst the valor of mighty Hector and his followers. All seemed lost, 
    
for

     the Greeks had only the sea behind them and could

for

     the wrong Agamemnon has done me. Take, therefore,

for

     his courage was high and he was doing wonderful d
  
     There in the plain he met the mighty Hector, but his power left him, 
    
for

     the god Apollo confused his mind, and Hector pier
  
    the dead body of their brave companion. Hector retired from the fight 
    
for

     a time, to put on the armor of Achilles: then he 
  
    ndeed, I have had my revenge, mother, and the Greeks have paid dearly 
    
for

     the wrong Agamemnon did me; but what is it all wo

for

     Thetis. He hobbled away willingly to his workshop
  
    ly he took up his spear, which no one but he could wield, and set out 
    
for

     the Grecian camp and the assembly of the chiefs.

for

     his foe in vain. Toward evening a panic came upon

for

     Achilles. His father, King Priam, besought him in

    hting about Troy was renewed, and it seemed that the city must yield, 
    
for

     the Trojans had lost courage; but upon a certain 
  
    madness is this?” he cried. “Do you believe that the Greeks are gone? 
    
For

     my part, I fear the Greeks even when they offer g
  
    the shore. He was trembling with fright, and at first could not speak 
    
for

     fear. When at last he found his voice, he told a 
  
    rget the Greeks,” said the king. “From this time be a Trojan.” Sinon, 
    
for

     that was his name, seemed to weep tears of joy. “
  
    ll tell you all,” said the deceitful Sinon. “The Greeks have not gone 
    
for

     good. It is true they have gone to Greece, but th
  
    rge and heavy so that you might not be able to take it into the city, 
    
for

     if you should drag it within your walls, Troy wou
  
    our walls, Troy would never fall. This horse would be a new Palladium 
    
for

     you.” Just then a wondrous thing happened. Across
  
    inking. The soldiers took off their armor and rejoiced with the rest, 
    
for

     the war seemed at an end. But beautiful Queen Hel
  
     ships of royal Menelaus and sailed back to Sparta. Her heart was sad 
    
for

     all the grief and death she had caused. But up in
  
    d Minerva, the goddess of courage and wisdom, were sternly contented, 
    
for

     their wrath had triumphed.   Cassandra.     Troy-

for

     thee. Come, come!” She heard but that one call,

For

     what to me the sound of lyre,    And what thy lov

for

     one already dead. For to the god the thing was do
  
    id. And sadly-slow the god withdrew,    Sighing for one already dead. 
    
For

     to the god the thing was done,    The houses burn
  
    eece, a hurricane caught them and drove them far out of their course. 
    
For

     nine days the storm raged, and when it cleared aw
  
    the milk and stored it away, but he put aside the most of it in bowls 
    
for

     his supper. Then, first, he noticed Ulysses and h
  
    the sound of that great voice, but Ulysses answered’: “We are Greeks. 
    
For

     ten years we fought under King Agamemnon at Troy,
  
     Jupiter, help us.” “What think you that the Cyclops Polyphemus cares 
    
for

     Jupiter?” roared the giant, and seizing two of Ul
  
    rably.” That whole night Ulysses and his men sat, sleeplessly waiting 
    
for

     the day. At dawn, Polyphemus awoke, milked his fl
  
    ment and escape. In the evening, Polyphemus returned with his flocks. 
    
For

     his supper, he again killed two of Ulysses’ men a
  
    e Cyclops’ great eye. The monster awoke roaring with pain, and called 
    
for

     his friends, the other Cyclops. They soon came. “
  
    ho eat the strangers within your gates, Jupiter has made you pay well 
    
for

     your cruelty.” In his rage Polyphemus tore the wh
  
    hed you so.” “My father, Neptune, the god of ocean, will make you pay 
    
for

     this, Ulysses,” said Polyphemus, and he cast anot
  
    ds of heaven, except the west wind, which was to bear the fleet home. 
    
For

     nine days the ships sailed before this wind, and 
  
    es upon the hillsides. It was their home. They sailed slowly, waiting 
    
for

     the day, and a deep sleep came upon Ulysses, worn
  
    ng Æolus. Æolus had been kind, but now he refused to do anything more 
    
for

     them, and sternly ordered them to leave. Sadly th
  
    a beautiful and fertile land, but it brought terrible woe to Ulysses, 
    
for

     the people were savages and attacked the fleet in
  
    , and all followed her, except Eurylochus, who was suspicious. Circe, 
    
for

     that was the name of the goddess, led the men int
  
    nto the great hall, and with a show of gracious hospitality, prepared 
    
for

     them what seemed a refreshing drink. But when the

     they still had the minds of men. Eurylochus waite
  
    n misery, for they still had the minds of men. Eurylochus waited long 
    
for

     his friends, but at last returned to the ship alo

for

     mercy. Her evil power was at an end. The swine we

For

     nine days he drifted about, but on the tenth he w

for

     the voyage. Then, drawing the raft down to the se
  
     down to the sea, he pushed off, and started at last on his way home, 
    
for

     the gods were now favorable. Neptune, it is true,
  
    for the gods were now favorable. Neptune, it is true, was still angry 
    
for

     the harm done to Polyphemus, his son, and he ship
  
    acia; but the Phæacians, when they knew him, received him like a god, 
    
for

     his deeds before Troy were well known to them. Th

for

     in those days a strong arm was needed at the head
  
    s, and Telemachus was still too young to enforce the respect due her. 
    
For

     a time the queen would not hear of their offers o
  
    of them, came to her and said: — “Choose one of us and delay no more, 
    
for

     Ulysses is long since dead. Your son, Telemachus,
  
     Telemachus, is now almost a man, so long has it been. Consider well, 
    
for

     we all shall remain in the palace until you make 
  
    ke the choice.” “Wait but until I finish this robe which I am weaving 
    
for

     Laertes,” said Penelope; “then I will choose.” Bu
  
     at night she unraveled all that she had woven. Thus she put them off 
    
for

     three years more. Then her servants betrayed her,
  
     her, and she was obliged to set about finishing it. She still hoped, 
    
for

     Ulysses might return before the work was done, an
  
    gifts in a cave near by, told him how much his home had need of him. “
    
For

     years these lawless men have been rioting in your

for

     news of his father, and even now the suitors are

for

     the palace, as his father commanded. The suitors

     by this time all had recognized him. When every s

for

     the change of appearance by explaining that it wa
  
    ogether how they should get the better of the suitors and punish them

for

     whatever might await him. He had but one request 
  
    roach of the deities. “Now,” said the Sibyl, “summon up your courage,

     you will need it.” She descended into the cave, a
  
    cks that fly southward at the approach of winter. They stood pressing

     a passage and longing to touch the opposite shore

     the wish thus to transgress the laws of Pluto; bu

for

     some distance; then, with a heavy heart, rejoined
  
    in fidelity to their employers. Here was one who had sold his country 
    
for

     gold, another who perverted the laws, making them

for

     the same price she had asked for the nine. The ki

for

     Æneas, well stuffed with leaves, and covered with

for

     the Trojan chiefs, and Æneas, with a chosen band

for

for

     Æneas’s return. Nisus stood guard at the entrance

for

     them the chain called Gleipnir. It is fashioned o
  
     of the Frost giants and the giants of the mountains. But he demanded 
    
for

     his reward the goddess Freya, together with the s

for

     the building. The enormous size of the stones str
  
     bargain, however, had been concluded, and confirmed by solemn oaths, 
    
for

     without these precautions a giant would not have

for

for

     with the first blow he shattered the giant’s skul
  
     bride with due courtesy, but was greatly surprised at seeing her eat 
    
for

     her supper eight salmons and a full grown ox, bes
  
    of mead. Loki, however, assured him that she had not tasted any thing 
    
for

     eight long nights, so great was her desire to see
  
    senger, drew his secret from him, and undertook to get him the maiden 
    
for

     his bride, if he would give him his sword as a re

for

     once Thor was afraid to use his mallet, and as th

for

     I know that thou art the god Thor. But what has b
  
     of my glove?” Thor then perceived that what they had taken overnight 
    
for

     a hall was the giant’s glove, and the chamber whe
  
    m. So they travelled the whole day, and at dusk Skrymir chose a place 
    
for

     them to pass the night in under a large oak tree.

for

for

     us to get up and dress ourselves; but you have no
  
     advise you, when you come there, not to make too much of yourselves, 
    
for

     the followers of Utgard-Loki will not brook the b

for

     any more of his company. Thor and his companions

for

     which he was so famous. Thor answered that he wou

for

for

     their departure. Utgard-Loki ordered a table to b

for

    very mythological riddle elements which resist etymological analysis,

for

for

     the explanation of myth-making based upon the The
  
    ent is, then, that “the savage and senseless element in mythology is, 
    
for

     the most part, a legacy from ancestors of civiliz
  
    personality and life.” The forces of nature, animals, and things have 
    
for

     these Polynesians and Bushmen the same powers and
  
    rs.” 11 The senseless element in the myths would, by this theory, be, 
    
for

     the most part, a “survival.” Instead, then, of de
  
    e myth originated in germs other than savage curiosity and credulity:

     instance, in the adventures of some great hero, o

for

     twenty years, and when he awoke he did not recogn
  
     a hundred nobles of Ithaca, and of the neighboring islands, had been 
    
for

     years suing for the hand of Penelope, his wife, i
  
    s of Ithaca, and of the neighboring islands, had been for years suing 
    
for

     the hand of Penelope, his wife, imagining him dea
  
    marriage, had won her over all competitors. But, when the moment came 
    
for

     the bride to leave her father’s house, Icarius, u
  
    suitors, from whom there seemed no refuge but in choosing one of them 
    
for

     her husband. She, however, employed every art to 
  
     husband. She, however, employed every art to gain time, still hoping 
    
for

     Ulysses’ return. One of her arts of delay was by 
  
    One of her arts of delay was by engaging in the preparation of a robe 
    
for

     the funeral canopy of Lærtes, her husband’s fathe
  
    wine-herd, a faithful servant of his house. Telemachus, his son, had, 
    
for

     some time, been absent in quest of his father, vi
  
    sent to the palace to inform Penelope privately of her son’s arrival, 
    
for

     caution was necessary with regard to the suitors,
  
    an mortal. But Ulysses announced himself as his father, and accounted 
    
for

     the change of appearance, by explaining that it w
  
    ogether how they should get the better of the suitors and punish them 
    
for

     their outrages. It was arranged that Telemachus s
  
     him insulted, or beaten, not to interpose otherwise than he might do 
    
for

     any stranger. At the palace, they found the usual
  
    e of her suitors so long, that there seemed to be no further pretence 
    
for

     delay. The continued absence of her husband seeme
  
     whose arrow was sent through the whole twelve, was to have the queen 
    
for

     his prize. A bow that one of his brother heroes h
  
    es and Euryclea. [Relief: Roscher 9: 1423.] All things being prepared 
    
for

     the trial, the first thing to be done was to bend

for

for

     his insolence. But Telemachus spoke up for him, a
  
    o turn him out of the hall for his insolence. But Telemachus spoke up 
    
for

     him, and merely to gratify the old man, bade him 
  
    thout allowing them time to express their astonishment, he said, “Now 
    
for

     another mark!” and aimed direct at the most insol
  
    prang to the side of Ulysses. The suitors, in amazement, looked round 
    
for

     arms, but found none, neither was there any way o
  
     round for arms, but found none, neither was there any way of escape, 
    
for

     Eumæus had secured the door. Ulysses left them no
  
    substance they had squandered, whose wife and son they had persecuted 
    
for

     ten long years; and told them he meant to have am
  
    cudding drifts the rainy Hyades Vext the dim sea: I am become a name; 
    
For

for

     a feast. But no sooner had they seated themselves

for

     they were so nimble it was almost impossible to h
  
    owards their destined shore, felt her old grudge against them revive, 
    
for

     she could not forget the slight that Paris had pu
  
    ne, hearing the storm raging, and knowing that he had given no orders 
    
for

     one, raised his head above the waves, and saw the
  
    le. Understanding the hostility of Juno, he was at no loss to account 
    
for

     it, but his anger was not the less at this interf
  
    h games of strength and skill were exhibited. The strangers contended 
    
for

     the palm with her own subjects, on equal terms, t
  
    lled with admiration of his exploits. She conceived an ardent passion 
    
for

     him, and he for his part seemed well content to a
  
    tion of his exploits. She conceived an ardent passion for him, and he 
    
for

     his part seemed well content to accept the fortun
  
    n to detain him. The blow to her affection and her pride was too much 
    
for

     her to endure, and when she found that he was gon
  
    ospitable reception, the Trojans reembarked, and held on their course 
    
for

     Italy. Venus now interceded with Neptune to allow
  
    an end of his perils on the deep. Neptune consented, stipulating only 
    
for

     one life as a ransom for the rest. The victim was
  
    he deep. Neptune consented, stipulating only for one life as a ransom 
    
for

     the rest. The victim was Palinurus, the pilot. As
  
    t helm or pilot, till Æneas discovered his loss, and sorrowing deeply 
    
for

     his faithful steersman took charge of the ship hi
  
    ard the more bravely.” 384 Æneas replied that he had prepared himself 
    
for

     whatever might await him. He had but one request 
  
     approach of the deities. “Now,” said the Sibyl, “summon thy courage, 
    
for

     thou shalt need it.” She descended into the cave 
  
    cks that fly southward at the approach of winter. They stood pressing 
    
for

     a passage and longing to touch the opposite shore
  
     take him in company to the opposite shore. But the Sibyl rebuked him 
    
for

     the wish thus to transgress the laws of Pluto; bu
  
     the form of Dido, with a wound still recent. In the dim light he was 
    
for

     a moment uncertain, but approaching, perceived it
  
    . Stop, I beseech thee, and refuse me not a last farewell.” She stood 
    
for

     a moment with averted countenance, and eyes fixed
  
    y passed on, as insensible to his pleadings as a rock. Æneas followed 
    
for

     some distance; then, with a heavy heart, rejoined
  
    in fidelity to their employers. Here was one who had sold his country 
    
for

     gold, another who perverted the laws, making them
  
    ter, yet he was parched with thirst, and found nothing to assauge it; 
    
for

     when he bowed his hoary head, eager to quaff, the
  
    o I behold thee after such perils past? O my son, how have I trembled 
    
for

     thee, as I have watched thy ‘ course!” To which Æ
  
    can be so in love with life, as to wish to leave these tranquil seats 
    
for

     the upper world?” Anchises replied by explaining 
  
    hdays as there are sand-grains in my hand.’ Unluckily I forgot to ask 
    
for

     enduring youth. This also he would have granted, 
  
    pressed by hunger to devour their tables. This portent now came true; 
    
for

     as they took their scanty meal, seated on the gra
  
    n were sent to the village of Latinus, bearing presents and a request 
    
for

     friendship and alliance. They went and were favor
  
    gifts and friendly messages. Juno, seeing things go thus prosperously 
    
for

     the Trojans, felt her old animosity revive, summo
  
     . — It was the custom of the country, when war was to be undertaken, 
    
for

     the chief magistrate, clad in his robes of office
  
    asenus, which, swelled by rains, seemed to debar a passage. He paused 
    
for

     a moment, then decided what to do. He tied the in
  
     the wild swan. Her dress was a tiger’s skin. Many mothers sought her 
    
for

     a daughter-in-law, but she continued faithful to 
  
     of the river and all his tributary fountains to lend their aid. Then 
    
for

     the first time a vessel filled with armed warrior
  
     and his party, and were most favorably received. Seats were provided 
    
for

     them at the tables, and the repast proceeded.  In
  
    ke the cattle nor raise a harvest, nor provide from present abundance 
    
for

     future want; but browsed like beasts upon the lea
  
    ed with leaves and covered with the skin of a Libyan bear, was spread 
    
for

     Æneas. Next morning, awakened by the dawn and the
  
    te thy great exploits.”  Then the king ordered horses to be furnished 
    
for

     the Trojan chiefs, and Eneas, with a chosen band 
  
    , Turnus had collected his bands, and made all necessary preparations 
    
for

     the war. Juno sent Iris to him with a message inc
  
    far otherwise. There all was watchfulness and anxiety, and impatience 
    
for

     Eneas’ return. Nisus stood guard at the entrance 
  
    f the camp, and Euryalus, a youth distinguished above all in the army 
    
for

     graces of person and fine qualities, was with him
  
     our chief. If I succeed, the glory of the deed will be reward enough 
    
for

     me, and if they judge the service deserves anythi
  
    er alone? Not so my brave father brought me up, nor so have I planned 
    
for

     myself when I joined the standard of Æneas, and r
  
    , “I have but one boon to ask. My aged mother is with me in the camp. 
    
For

     me she left the Trojan soil, and would not stay b
  
    qual in strength, the war began in good earnest. We cannot find space 
    
for

     all the details, but must simply record the fate

     another, looked up to the skies, and, dying, reme
  
    Æneas bent over him in pity. “Hapless youth,” he said, “what can I do 
    
for

     thee worthy of thy praise? Keep those arms in whi
  
    slain.  Of Camilla. — After the battle, there was a cessation of arms 
    
for

     some days to allow both armies to bury their dead
  
    e. At last an Etruscan named Aruns, who had watched her long, seeking 
    
for

     some advantage, observed her pursuing a flying en
  
    ergency, and impenetrable armor fabricated by Vulcan, at her request, 
    
for

     her son. Turnus, on the other hand, was deserted 
  
     pierced his thigh. Then Turnus’ fortitude forsook him, and he begged 
    
for

     mercy; Æneas, indeed, would have spared his oppon
  
    to infer that Æneas, having triumphed over his foes, obtained Lavinia 
    
for

     his bride. Tradition adds that he founded a city 
  
     pleased with their new work, but found that it was still incomplete, 
    
for

     it was without human beings. They therefore took 
  
    nly by crossing the bridge, Bifrost (the rainbow). Asgard — Gladsheim 
    
for

     the gods, Vingolf for the goddesses — consists of
  
    idge, Bifrost (the rainbow). Asgard — Gladsheim for the gods, Vingolf 
    
for

     the goddesses — consists of golden and silver pal

for

     he himself stands in no need of food. Mead is for
  
     is set before him, for he himself stands in no need of food. Mead is 
    
for

     him both food and drink. He invented the Runic ch
  
     with his chosen heroes, all those who have fallen bravely in battle, 
    
for

     all who die a peaceful death are excluded. The fl
  
     The flesh of the boar Serimnir is served up to them, and is abundant 
    
for

     all. For although this boar is cooked every morni
  
    h of the boar Serimnir is served up to them, and is abundant for all. 
    
For

     although this boar is cooked every morning, he be
  
    his boar is cooked every morning, he becomes whole again every night. 
    
For

     drink the heroes are supplied abundantly with mea

for

     the bravest of those who shall be slain. The Valk
  
     know to their cost, when they see it hurled against them in the air, 
    
for

     it has split many a skull of their fathers and ki
  
    red miles around him. So, acute is his ear that no sound escapes him, 
    
for

     he can even hear the grass grow, — and the wool o
  
    h forms the hangings of her apartments. She may easily be recognized, 
    
for

     her body is half flesh color and half blue, and s
  
    . Finally the gods sent a messenger to the mountain spirits, who made 
    
for

     them the chain called Gleipnir. It is fashioned o
  
     of the Frost giants and the giants of the mountains. But he demanded 
    
for

     his reward the goddess Freya, together with the s
  
    he first day of winter, and during the night let his horse draw stone 
    
for

     the building. The enormous size of the stones str
  
    r bargain, however, had been concluded and confirmed by solemn oaths, 
    
for

     without these precautions a giant would not have 
  
     should lose his reward. That night when the man went with Svadilfari 
    
for

     building-stone, a mare suddenly ran out of a fore
  
    with the sun and moon, and not even by sending him back to Jötunheim, 
    
for

     with the first blow he shattered the giant’s skul
  
     bride with due courtesy, but was greatly surprised at seeing her eat 
    
for

     her supper eight salmons and a full-grown ox besi
  
     of mead. Loki, however, assured him that she had not tasted anything 
    
for

     eight long nights, so great was her desire to see
  
     day Thor, with his servant Thialfi, and accompanied by Loki, set out 
    
for

     the giants’ country. Thialfi was of all men the s
  
    they found themselves in an immense forest, and searched on all sides 
    
for

     a place where they might pass the night. At last 
  
    ear him a huge giant, still snoring in the way that had alarmed them. 
    
For

     once Thor was afraid to use his mallet, and as th
  
      “My name is Skrymir,” said the giant, “but I need not ask thy name, 
    
for

     I know that thou art the god Thor. But what has b
  
     of my glove?” Thor then perceived that what they had taken overnight 
    
for

     a hall was the giant’s glove, and the chamber whe
  
    . So they travelled the whole day, and at dusk, Skrymir chose a place 
    
for

     them to pass the night in under a large oak tree.
  
    st then awoke, and that as it was only midnight, there was still time 
    
for

     sleep. He however resolved that if he had an oppo
  
    orn fell on my head. What! Art, thou awake, Thor? Methinks it is time 
    
for

     us to get up and dress ourselves; but you have no
  
     advise you, when you come there, not to make too much of yourselves, 
    
for

     the followers of Utgard-Loki will not brook the b
  
    from them into the forest, and Thor had no wish to stop him or to ask 
    
for

     any more of his company. Thor and his companions 
  
    t are the feats that thou and thy fellows deem yourselves skilled in, 
    
for

     no one is permitted to remain here who does not, 
  
    went with all who were present to a plain where there was good ground 
    
for

     running on, and calling a young man named Hugi, b
  
    ked Thor in what feats he would choose to give proofs of that prowess 
    
for

     which he was so famous. Thor answered that he wou
  
     had not already observed that thou art by no means what we took thee 
    
for

    .”  As he finished speaking a large gray cat spran
  
    break of day, Thor and his companions dressed themselves and prepared 
    
for

     their departure. Utgard-Loki ordered a table to b
  
    d prepared for their departure. Utgard-Loki ordered a table to be set 
    
for

     them, on which there was no lack of victuals or d
  
    whom Thialfi contended in running, was Thought, and it was impossible 
    
for

     Thialfi to keep pace with that. When thou in thy 
  
    lous, that had I not seen it myself, I should never have believed it. 
    
For

     one end of that horn reached the sea, which thou 
  
    one of his paws was off the floor, we were all of us terror-stricken,

     what thou tookest for a cat was in reality the Mi

     such in fact was Elli, will not sooner or later l

     both of us if thou never come near me again, for

for

     his wife, but he lost his sword. § 182. The Death
  
    arm to Balder. Odin, not satisfied with all this, and feeling alarmed 
    
for

     the fate of his son, determined to consult the pr

for

     as they must have been well aware of its defects,
  
    venture to speak with more confidence. It is the result of my reading 
    
for

     the last six years, during which I have gone thro
  
    y idle visions of fame that led me to make literature my profession ;

for

     to nothing else can it be justly ascribed. I have
  
    a different character ; its object is to keep up and extend the taste 
    
for

     classic literature, which in my opinion tends so 
  
    to entice as many as possible into the pleasing regions of mythology, 
    
for

     I know from experience how delightful it is to es
  
    people I intend to make the subject of a future work ; the former has

     many years engaged the attention of my friend Mr.

for

     this last usage, and I think Greek names should b
  
    t they might be at once transferred to the original Greek characters. 
    
For

     this purpose the long e and o should be marked as

     instance Kimôn and Kephalos instead of Cimon and

     themselves a System of gods so like to man, and y
  
     The sages of remote antiquity appear to have had a peculiar fondness

for

     example, originally it would seem celebrated in h
  
    t would seem celebrated in honour of Demeter18, was probably indebted 
    
for

     its name to the flower Hyacinthos ; and the legen

for

     the present we will content ourselves with a sing
  
    1 and some other ingenious writers, chiefly French, look to Astronomy 
    
for

     the solution of the enigmatic legends of antiquit
  
     religion. In fact, if the theory of these men be true, the necessity 
    
for

     Christianity becomes a question45. Of these three

for

     the whole body of the mythology of any people. So
  
    , apply more to one system than another : the Scandinavian mythology, 
    
for

     example, is of a more physical character than the
  
    an or the Scandinavian. The mythologies which offer the widest fields 
    
for

     inquiry are those of ancient Greece, of India, an
  
    ancient Egypt. Italy has left no mythology, properly speaking, though

for

     wicked men, being to the gods what Erebos was to

for

     the good, and Tartaros was raised up to it to for

     such it apparently is, refers perhaps to the chas

for

     her son, she seeks Olympos, and the armour is fas

For

For

     tearful war ; and round her shoulders cast The fr
  
    before the liquid mirror. Satisfied that the goddesses had had reason 
    
for

     their mirth, she threw her pipe away : Marsyas un

for

     Athens and Trœzên, and, according to one account,
  
    , with Poseidôn for Athens and Trœzên, and, according to one account, 
    
for

     Argos. This goddess is represented with a serious
  
    pot of the godless. Here, however, again Homer presents a difficulty, 
    
for

    , as we have already observed, the practice of ass
  
    Zeus desires Hermeias to accompany him, reminding him of his fondness 
    
for

     associating with mankind833. The god obeys his si
  
    . He had scarcely been laid in his cradle, when he got up and set off 
    
for

     Pieria to steal cows from Apollo. As he was going
  
     he replied, that he was resolved by his actions to procure admission 
    
for

     her and himself to the assembly of the gods. In t
  
    d in Olympos, Apollo relates the theft, and tells what reasons he had 
    
for

     suspecting the baby of being the thief. All this 
  
    lyre, the tones of which so ravish Apollo that he offers him the cows 
    
for

     it. The young god gives him the lyre, and receive
  
    rsion of the legend is not a babe, thought the opportunity favourable 
    
for

     stealing a few of the heedless herdsman’s cattle.
  
    s ran out to look, and immediately knew them to be stolen, but agreed 
    
for

     a certain reward not to give information to any o
  
    d seen any one driving stolen cattle by, offering a cloak as a reward 
    
for

     intelligence. The covetous Battos took the cloak,
  
    hy he came. Hermes immediately informed her of his rank, and his love 
    
for

     her sister, entreating her good offices in his su
  
    thene incensed at her unhallowed cupidity, and provoked with her also 
    
for

     other causes, sent Envy to fill her bosom with th

for

     having delivered the citizens from a pestilence, 
  
     to protect wayfarers860, and thence to be a protector in general861. 
    
For

     this cause, among others, it may have been that g

     the office which was assigned him of agent and me
  
     a conjecture, perhaps we should say as a mere sport of imagination ;

     we are inclined to regard the mythe of Io as one 
  
    beauty, an object of amazement to ‘all immortal gods and mortal men,’ 
    
for

     one hundred flowers grew from one root884 ;  And

     we venture not to assert it) the original Dionysi

for

     building them, who had no ports, and who held the

     such was the will of Dionysos. When Dionysos reac

     in the Orphic hymns alone we meet upwards of fort

for

     such restricted notions are contrary to the geniu

     Sirius the dog-star1127 ; the name of his compani

for

     his share in the Titan-war1455. Atlas was the fat
  
     and weakness of man. In this mythe however there is great confusion, 
    
for

     its original sense seems to have been lost very e
  
    ch higher nature. The former legend was manifestly devised to account 
    
for

     the custom at Sicyôn, as at Sparta, of offering t
  
    ects laid him in chains. But Heracles coming thither opened a passage 
    
for

for

     arbitrator, and he decided that, as Jupiter had g

for

     nine days and nights until he reached Mount Parna

for

     vengeance, sent a poisoned robe as a gift to the 
  
    the accounts of the manner in which she contrived to destroy Pelias ; 
    
for

     it is said that before the Argo came to Iolcos Me
  
    rnful hymns offer sacrifices to appease the deity. The cause assigned 
    
for

     this rite was as follows. Medeia reigned at Corin
  
    h. The companions of Acastos getting all these beasts, derided Peleus 
    
for

     having killed no game ; but pulling out the tongu
  
    Centaurs would find him and kill him1560. When Peleus awoke he sought 
    
for

     his sword, but in vain ; and the Centaurs coming 
  
    ain ; and the Centaurs coming on him would have put him to death, but

     gods resolved to give him a goddess in marriage. The spouse selected 
    
for

     him was the sea-nymph Thetis, who had been wooed 
  
    ned her to espouse a mortal1566, or that Hera herself selected Peleus 
    
for

     her spouse1567. Cheirôn, being made aware of the

for

     the guests1573. When the celebrated son of Peleus

for

     the violation of the duties of hospitality on the
  
     offence, and calculated to strike with awe the minds of the hearers, 
    
for

     we should always remember that these ancient myth

for

     supposing that Homer and Hesiod conceived them to

for

     which act of impiety Zeus punished him by the han
  
    d his son Medeios, Heracles, Asclepios, and Achilleus, and was famous 
    
for

     his skill in surgery1597, which he taught the two
  
    oisoned arrows, he suffered extreme pain, till, on his prayer to Zeus 
    
for

     relief, he was raised to the sky and made the con
  
    ntaurs as Air-piercers (from κντϵῐν τὴν αὔραν) not an improbable one,

     that very idea is suggested by the figure of a Co

for

     the builders of towns. He supposes Hippodameia, a

for

     the Centaurs having been at the wedding. Müller16

for

for

     Cadmos1634. Homer and Hesiod call the people of T
  
    It was certainly his name that led to the idea of giving him Harmonia 
    
for

     his bride. The influence of names is also we thin
  
    he oracle given to the Enchelians, namely to take Cadmos and Harmonia 
    
for

     their leaders, that is, to adopt regular discipli

for

     Eurydice the wife of Orpheus ; his pursuit of her
  
     their grief by making an image of Actæôn1647. Another cause assigned 
    
for

     the anger of the goddess was Actæôn’s boasting th
  
    alousy of a step-mother, resolved to destroy the children of Nephele. 
    
For

     this purpose she persuaded the women to parch the
  
    rse with Ino. When the response of the oracle came to Athamas he sent 
    
for

     Phrixos out of the country, desiring him to come

for

     the defence, it is said1682, of Cadmos the priest
  
    as her own, and named it Œdipûs on account of its swollen feet 1685 ; 
    
for

     Laïos, previous to its exposure, had pierced its 
  
    table which had belonged to Cadmos, and filled a golden cup with wine 
    
for

     him ; but when he perceived the heir-looms of his
  
     undo the acts of another, gave him in compensation an extent of life 
    
for

     seven generations, and the power of foreseeing co
  
     to whose posterity, on Eteocles’ dying childless, the kingdom came : 
    
for

     Halmos had two daughters, Chrysogeneia and Chryse

for

     his rites, and their consequent punishment1707. T

     his locks and seals were untouched, and yet his w

for

     thirteen months in a brazen prison (κεράμῳ), and

for

     having struck him. He was called to account for t

     this deed, and justified himself by citing a law

for

for

    ying him for twenty years an annual tribute of a hundred oxen. It was 
    
for

     this tribute that the heralds were going to Thebe
  
    , and the two of his brother Iphicles, into the fire. As a punishment 
    
for

     this deed he went into voluntary exile, and was p
  
    where he should settle. The Pythia then first named him Heracles1736, 
    
for

     hitherto he had been called Alceides from his gra
  
    lorchos’ abode, he found him just on the point of offering the victim 
    
for

     him as being dead. Having offered the sacrifice t

for

     when one was crushed two sprang up in its stead.

for

     an entire year1743. When the animal was tired wit
  
    rother Apollo. The goddess took the hind from him, and reproached him 
    
for

     violating her sacred animal. But the hero excusin
  
     guest roast meat, though he himself fared on it raw. Heracles asking 
    
for

     wine, his host said he feared to open the jar, wh
  
    he Centaurs ; but when pressed by the hero he consented to unclose it 
    
for

     him. The fragrance of the wine spread over the mo
  
    nt of his immortality, till, on his expressing his willingness to die 
    
for

     Prometheus, he was released by death from his mis
  
    rned to Pholœ, he found Pholos lying dead along with several others ; 
    
for

    , having drawn the arrow out of the body of one of
  
    as, he said nothing to him of the commands of Eurystheus, but offered 
    
for

     a tenth of his herds to clean out his stables in 
  
    . Dexamenos imploring his aid, he killed the Centaur as he was coming 
    
for

     his bride. Eurystheus however refused to count th
  
    to count this also among the twelve tasks, saying that he had done it 
    
for

     hire. The sixth task was to drive away the Stymph
  
    o Marathôn in Attica, where he did great mischief to the inhabitants. 
    
For

     his eighth task he was enjoined to bring to Mycen
  
    river Thermodôn. This nation was composed of women, who were renowned 
    
for

     their valour. When they bore children, they reare
  
    r exceeding all the Amazons in valour. This girdle Eurystheus coveted 
    
for

     his daughter Admeta, and he ordered Heracles to b
  
    e no end of the evil till Laomedôn had given his daughter Hesione1750 
    
for

     food to the monster. He therefore exposed her, fa
  
    ould give him the mares which Zeus had presented to Trôs, in exchange 
    
for

     his son Ganymedes. Laomedôn assented, and Heracle
  
    he space of eight years and a month ; but Eurystheus refused to allow 
    
for

     those of killing the hydra and cleansing the stab
  
    consequence of an oracle, offered up strangers on the altar of Zeus : 
    
for

     Egypt having been afflicted with a dearth for nin
  
     on the altar of Zeus : for Egypt having been afflicted with a dearth 
    
for

     nine years, a Cyprian named Phrasios, a great soo

for

     them, and in the mean time to support the heaven 
  
    Eurystheus was to bring Cerberos from the under-world. When preparing 
    
for

     this expedition, Heracles went to Eumolpos at Ele
  
    us by the hand, and raised him up1767 ; but when he would do the same 
    
for

     Peirithoös, the earth quaked, and he left him. He
  
    ed him to wrestle. Heracles laid hold on him, broke his ribs, and but 
    
for

     the prayers of Persephone would have killed him o
  
    , but did not obtain the promised prize. Iphitos, the eldest son, was 
    
for

     giving his sister to Heracles ; but Eurytos and h
  
    er the temple, and taking the tripod was about establishing an oracle 
    
for

     himself. Apollo came to oppose him ; but Zeus hur
  
     response, that his malady would be removed if he let himself be sold 
    
for

     three years as a slave, and gave the purchase-mon
  
     as a slave, and gave the purchase-money to Eurytos as a compensation 
    
for

     the loss of his son1769. Accordingly, in obedienc

For

     if the virtue of Heracles was to be of any value,
  
    d he must be tempted and resist the temptation. It was also necessary 
    
for

     the perfection of virtue that it should encounter
  
     other regions1785. These labours are chiefly allegorical. The Hydra, 
    
for

     instance, was meant to represent the evils of dem

for

for

     the invasion of the Peloponnese), the taking of E
  
    identified with the Doric hero a new series of adventures was devised 
    
for

     him, and he was made the object of the persecutio
  
    ro. Of the age of these poems however we can only make a conjecture ; 
    
for

     it is well known that some of the Hesiodic poems,
  
    ose of a man and a snake. In his time the gods began to choose cities 
    
for

     themselves ; and Poseidôn and Athena both fixed o
  
    age, and other social institutions, and taught them to cultivate corn 
    
for

     their subsistence. This remarkable event is place
  
    e birth of Erichthonios says, that Hephæstos having made golden seats 
    
for

     Zeus and the other gods, Hera when she sat in her
  
    alled to set his mother free ; but he, who had done it through malice 
    
for

     her having flung him out of heaven, replied that 
  
    e variations. According to some, Tereus had early conceived a passion 
    
for

     Philomela, and he obtained her in marriage by pre
  
     in Thrace. The legend is one of those invented to account mythically 
    
for

     the habits and properties of animals. The twitter
  
     the Eleusinians, he consulted the god about the event ; and received 
    
for

     answer, that victory would fall to him who should
  
     have children, and received the dog and dart in return1819. Cephalos 
    
for

     his involuntary crime was sentenced by the Areiop
  
     are Blower (Ζήτης), Inflamer (Κάλαϊς)1826, and Snow (Χιόνη), to whom 
    
for

     the sake of uniformity another daughter was added
  
     married Pylia the daughter of king Pylos ; who, being obliged to fly 
    
for

     the murder of his brother Bias, resigned Megara t
  
     ; and that the father continually pursues the daughter to punish her 
    
for

     her crime. According to Æschylus1831 Minôs bribed
  
    ell in the attempt. According to other accounts, Ægeus laid an ambush 
    
for

     him as he was going to Thebes, where games were t
  
    ry ninth year to be devoured by the Minotaur. This hard condition was 
    
for

     some time complied with. At length Theseus, the s
  
    such a feat, held down the tree with ease ; and then, to punish Sinis 
    
for

     his previous cruelty, killed him, and hung him ou
  
    owever that his death could not be very remote, they resolved to wait 
    
for

     that event, but they made no secret of their inte

for

     ere setting out on his perilous expedition, he ha
  
    prepared to assist his friend in a bolder and more perilous attempt : 
    
for

     Peirithoös, after the death of Hippodameia, resol
  
    here they sat unable to move, till Heracles passing by in his descent 
    
for

     Cerberos free'd Theseus, but was by a divine inti
  
     sister of Ariadne. This princess was seized with a violent affection 
    
for

     the son of the Amazôn, — an affection produced by
  
     — an affection produced by the wrath of Aphrodite against Hippolytos 
    
for

     neglecting her deity, and devoting himself solely
  
     with his death, either by accident or by the treachery of his host : 
    
for

     ascending with Lycomedes a lofty rock, to take a 
  
    ndary history of Attica from the time of Cecrops. It is not necessary 
    
for

     us, we presume, to set about proving that king Ro

for

     a common political and religious object, — could

for

     his Attic royalty to his part in the mythe of the
  
    s and Procris, though this last seems to be a genuine Attic mythe. As 
    
for

     Cecrops II. and Pandiôn II., they are manifestly 
  
    the Ionians. The mythe above noticed was evidently devised to account 
    
for

     the abode of the Ionians in Attica, where their s

For

     this murder he was banished by the court of Areio

for

     his son, and the resemblance between it and the n
  
    ituation rendered it in the earliest times a place of great commerce, 
    
for

     it was the thoroughfare between Hellas and the Pe
  
     god of the sea. Poseidôn and Helios, said the legend, once contended 
    
for

     the possession of the land ; Briareôs was chosen 
  
    earch after her came to Corinth. Sisyphos, on his giving him a spring 
    
for

     the Acrocorinth, informed him who the ravisher wa

for

     no one died. Hades however set Death at liberty, 
  
     to roll a huge stone up a hill, a never ending still beginning toil, 
    
for

     as soon as it reached the summit it rolled back a

     he had marked the initial of his name under their

for

     advice to the soothsayer Polyeidos, and was direc

for

     the death of Apis. When Io had been changed into

for

     her she was loved by Zeus. When he found his amou

for

     their Io, whose name was the occasion of a new le
  
    aid, and rushed toward her filled with desire. She prayed to Poseidôn 
    
for

     aid ; the god appeared, and flung his trident at

for

for

     their contempt of his rites, and he would appear

    The opposite characters of the soil of Argos and Arcadia will account 
    
for

     the different forms of the mythic narratives. We

for

     the original goddess1962. We cannot believe that 
  
     of the Eleians. Amphitryôn pursued them to Elis, and redeemed them ; 
    
for

     Electryôn, desirous to avenge the death of his so
  
    s unlucky deed, drove Amphitryôn from Mycenæ and Tiryns ; and sending 
    
for

     his nephews Atreus and Thyestes, the sons of Pelo

for

     their skill in treating wounds, led to Troy the m
  
    s struck him with thunder, and Apollo in revenge killed the Cyclopes, 
    
for

     which deed he was banished from Olympos. The trad
  
     were many in Arcadia. In this case Lycaôn would be only another name 
    
for

     Zeus, to whom he raised an altar, and he could no
  
    e temple clad in yellow, imitating bears. One of the reasons assigned 
    
for

     the origin of this custom was, that Braurôn, not 
  
     Arcas, was married to Clymene the daughter of Minyas. He was anxious 
    
for

     male offspring ; and on his wife's bringing forth
  
    a and reared her. She followed the chase, and was alike distinguished 
    
for

     beauty and courage. The Centaurs Rhœcos and Hylæo

for

for

     supposing two of the same name, as has usually be
  
    ove that Helena was held to be his daughter ; and we shall see reason 
    
for

     supposing that she was always viewed as the child

     them to live day and day about in heaven and unde

for

     Sipylos it is plain was designed to take the plac
  
    mage of the evils of ambition and the inordinate pursuit of honours ; 
    
for

     when Tantalos, it was said, had attained his ulti
  
    s said to have killed and dressed his son Pelops, and to have set him 
    
for

     food before them. Demeter had eaten one of the sh
  
    , and horses of winged speed2062. Pelops then went to Pisa to contend 
    
for

     the fair prize. He bribed Myrtilos, the son of He
  
    ver the marriagebed2064. Pelops is said2065 to have promised Myrtilos 
    
for

     his aid one half of the kingdom, or as other acco
  
    s say, that Hippodameia being thirsty, Pelops went in search of water 
    
for

     her ; during his absence Myrtilos attempted to of
  
     her complaint flung him into the sea2067. To the vengeance of Hermes 
    
for

     the death of his son were ascribed all the future
  
    on of it by inquiring into the Lydian origin of Pelops, a thing taken 
    
for

for

     this offence drove him from his kingdom ; and Thy
  
    elops thus began to be accomplished2079. Another legend thus accounts 
    
for

     the enmity between the brothers. Hermes, in order
  
    ived his name, Ægisthos. Atreus, hearing he was alive, had him sought 
    
for

for

     exclusive of the fact that such atrocities are qu

for

     he calls him more than once the son of Atreus2086

for

     his son, who was not of age, is not, we believe,

for

     his beauty, conceived a violent passion for the f

for

     the fair priestess, which was participated in by 
  
     of superior beauty to be offered annually as victims to the goddess. 
    
For

     many years this cruel rite remained in use, and t

for

     relief of his disorder. He was directed to take u

for

     the sake of a beautiful youth named Miletos, the 
  
    etos, the son of Apollo, or of Zeus. The youth testifying most esteem 
    
for

     Sarpedôn, Minôs chased them out of Crete. Miletos
  
    e his claim to it he asserted that he could obtain whatever he prayed 
    
for

for

     nine years at Cnossos, and was the intimate frien
  
    ate friend (ὀαριστὴς) of Zeus, who gave him wise laws and regulations 
    
for

    he only one that was generally adopted. We will now occupy the reader 
    
for

     a few moments by presenting what history and trad
  
    e, is the origin of the profound respect which the Druids of Gaul had 
    
for

     those of England, whom they considered as their s
  
    down. No one could approach them but with a religious respect, though 
    
for

     the purpose of adorning them with flowers and tro
  
    e of adorning them with flowers and trophies. People could not employ 
    
for

     ordinary purposes, certain trees, even when they 
  
    clude it, nor statues represent it. The Gauls had the highest respect 
    
for

     lakes and marshes, because they thought that divi
  
    ient Gauls had temples. “Those people,” says  Tacitus , “have nothing 
    
for

     their temple but a forest, where they discharge t
  
    emselves to the contemplation of nature. In time, the Druids reserved 
    
for

     themselves alone the offices of religion, and the
  
     candidate, after having passed through it, exchanged his usual dress 
    
for

     that of the Druids, which was a tunic falling hal
  
    d them, from early life, to be impressed with a deep sense of respect 
    
for

     the Druids. To them belonged the right of appoint
  
    s. When Hannibal passed into Gaul, they still enjoyed supreme rights; 
    
for

     it was said in a treaty which he made with the Ga
  
    trust to it that valuable plant. They ran over the forests and looked 
    
for

     it with the greatest care; and felicitated themse
  
     that they made their principal acts of devotion. On the day intended 
    
for

     the ceremony of collecting the misletoe, they ass
  
    er them. Three Druids followed him, and carried instruments necessary 
    
for

     sacrifice; and, in fine the chief of the pontiffs
  
    glance at them is sufficient to enable us to perceive how easy it was 
    
for

     those pontiffs to command opinion, and subjugate 
  
    tus delight in eulogizing the respect which the Gauls and Germans had 
    
for

     their wives; but the wives of the Druids sometime
  
    we find that the same views of those morals, and of that same respect 
    
for

     women, still existed: and gratitude often followe
  
    : and gratitude often followed in the train of such noble sentiments; 
    
for

     as soon as a knight was wounded, ladies were eage
  
    emples, where they cleared tables, and did not see their husbands but 
    
for

     one day in the year; the third did not quit their
  
    try. The almost idolatrous veneration which the Gauls and Germans had 
    
for

     their women, caused them to imagine, that they po
  
    stinian, has been only partially studied, and imperfectly understood.
