8. (1860) Elements of Mythology, or, Classical Fables of the Greeks and the Romans

The ancients represented this god as having a face of great dignity and beauty. […] The image of Ceres was that of a tall female, having her head adorned with ears of wheat. […] The first, Sinis, used to dart out from his haunts, seize the unwary passer-by, and having stripped him, would tie his limbs to the branches of trees, which, having been bent down, suddenly would spring up, and tear the unhappy sufferer in pieces. […] Cama is the beautiful god of love, having a bow of cane, and shafts enwreathed with flowers. […] On the west are two surprising figures of horsemen completely armed, who, having killed two elephants, are seated upon them.
