The Greek, for example, fully believed that Helios, the Hindoo that Surya, guided the course of the sun each day. […] In truth, a personification of the sea or sun is not a very intelligible expression. […] The people raised altars to her as a goddess, and they named the sun and moon after her hapless children. […] The sun was shining fiercely, and the goddess was parched with thirst. […] The names Phœbos and Artemis, as above explained, agree perfectly with the sun and moon.
