This panoramic 1887 study argues that a nation’s mythology evolves from more “primitive” forms—which is why certain aspects of mythology are irrational. This second volume explores the gods of Australia and the South Seas, Native American and Mexican myths, Egyptian mythology, the gods of the Aryans of India, Greek divine myths, and romantic and heroic myths.
