9. (1832) A catechism of mythology

This ridiculous fable afterwards gave Bacchus the surname of Bimater, or one who has two mothers. […] This fable has no other origin. […] He has wings, because favour is deceitful and love is precarious. […] Beauty, when adorned with the vermillion veil of modesty, has charms that are irresistible. […] Lovers whom despair has put to death, are found to wander farther into a forest of myrtles.
