8. (1842) Heathen mythology

The God for ever great, for ever king, Who slew the earth-born race, and measures right To heaven’s great habitants. […] “One represents a faun, with the head of Pentheus in one hand, and in the other a great knife. […] The ancients were very reverential in their homage to Oceanus, and worshipped with great solemnity a deity, to whose care they entrusted themselves when going on any voyage. […] Their nuptials were celebrated on Mount Peleon with great pomp, at which all the deities attended. […] The garment which Lacheses wore was variegated with a great number of stars, and near her a variety of spindles.
