Why the same absurd stories turn up in Greek myth and among peoples the Greeks never met - Lang's argument against the solar-myth school, made with wit and a good deal of ridicule. It changed the direction of the subject. This edition is bound with 59 plates of painting, among them works by Poussin, Redon and Turner, and five illustrations restored and coloured.
