Note

1. "The purpose of this book is to place the Heathen Mythology in two points of view; first, as it would have struck a Traveller in Greece, who wished to form a just conception of the Religion of the Country, free from either favour or prejudice; secondly, regarding Mythology as the introduction and hand-maid to the study of Poetry, the Author has endeavoured to feel his subject in the spirit of the Poet, and to communicate that feeling to others."
