1. (1860) Elements of Mythology, or, Classical Fables of the Greeks and the Romans

Saturn is represented as an old man, with a scythe in his hand. […] The working of metals is a most important circumstance in the civilization of man. […] Every man was supposed to have two Genii. […] He spared no pains, and soon learned that he was himself the man whom he sought. […] To imagine a man to be a god, and to worship him as one, is the apotheosis of that man.
