14. (1836) The new pantheon; or, an introduction to the mythology of the ancients

For this, Apollo was banished from the celestial realms, and forced, for a time, to undergo many trials and difficulties on earth. […] As, for example, the palladium of British liberty. […] The dog, for his vigilance in pursuit of prey; the wolf, for his fierceness; the raven, because he follows embattled armies to feast upon the slain; the cock, for his wakefulness, whereby he prevents surprise; are consecrated to the furious God of battle. […] He was then conveyed to Memphis, where a delightful abode, ample space for exercise, and suitable companions, were provided for him. […] Taschter’s light shone on high for thirty days and thirty nights.
