But how is mythology to be taught to one who does not learn it through the medium of the languages of Greece and Rome? […] Quirinus was a war god, said to be no other than Romulus, the founder of Rome, exalted after his death to a place among the gods. […] His temples at Rome were numerous. […] Thus in the early history of Rome they are said to have assisted the Romans at the battle of Lake Regillus, and after the victory a temple was erected in their honor on the spot where they appeared. […] It was said that Numa, the second king of Rome, was favored by this nymph with secret interviews, in which she taught him those lessons of wisdom and of law which he imbodied in the institutions of his rising nation.
