10. (1883) A Hand-Book of Mythology for the Use of Schools and Academies

Zeus is called the “father of gods and men;” his power over both is represented as supreme. […] Hence, Apollo is the god of music. […] The sun (Œdipus) is the child of the darkness (Laius), and he is doomed to slay his father. […] The mistletoe is a parasitic plant, and is not always found on the oak, so that when it is found, it is the more precious.” […] Ataensic is from the root aouen, water, and means literally ‘she who is in the water.’
