9. (1836) The new pantheon; or, an introduction to the mythology of the ancients

We learn from history, that Janus was represented with two faces, because he governed two different people, and because he divided his kingdom with Saturn. […] Biformis, because he was accounted both bearded and beardless; or, because wine renders some cheerful and gay, and others morose and dull. […] Nictilius, because his feasts were celebrated in the night by torch light. […] A crown of olive was entwined around her helmet, because she taught the use of that fruit. […] Camillus, from his office of minister to the Gods; and Vialis, because he presided over the formation of roads.
