Some mythes are historical, some physical, some moral, some theological ; but no single one of these theories will suffice to account for the whole body of the mythology of any people. […] As in Greece, some believed, some disbelieved in the popular deities, and the former sought the solution of the mythes in the schools of philosophy or the temples of the mysteries. […] There was generally some reason for this, founded on physical or moral grounds, or on both. […] The dwellers of Olympos laughed heartily, and some jokes were passed on the occasion. […] The names Pytho and Delphi alone sufficed to give a foundation for some of them.
