All other nations believed in a plurality of gods, or many gods. […] The gods of heaven, of earth, of the sea, and of hell. The principal of the celestial gods was Jupiter — the supreme divinity of paganism, the father of gods and men. […] Odin, or Wodin, was the greatest of their gods. […] In time they give names to these false gods, add stories of virtuous men, to those that have been related of the gods, and call these virtuous men gods also.
