It has been said that Greek mythology, in its dynastic series of ruling gods, shows an evolution from a worship of the forces of nature to a worship of the powers of the mind. It is beyond questionthe most complete in its details, the most perfectviewed from an artistic standpoint, the most beautiful and enduring of all the world's store of legendary lore that has come down to us, and in thiswealth of mythology, the solar myth stands out supreme, as the central figure, clothed in the matchless imagery of a naturally poetical and
highly artistic people.
