still be witnessed in its fu ll vigou r in India . Learned and ingeniou s as the Gre eks and Romans

far f u an d were , they were removed rom the p rity si mplicity o f faith which distingu ished the Israel ites ; and in their days o f greatest refinement they still wors hipe d at the altars o f many gods .

o f o t e objects their worship , and the narration f h principal adventu res which they invented fo r their

ou deities , are the points to which we shall direct r a ttention . As the Greeks were a remarkably ingeniou s

l u peop e , who abo nded with imagination , and were

o f o f passi nately ond poetry , which in its early ages

u u was chiefly narrative , they devised n mero s tales o f the adventu r es o f their gods ; fo r their vene ration fo r them was not O f that awfu l character which precl u des all falsehood and fiction when s peaking o f beings su perior to man . These tales o r fables o f the adventu res and a o f Gr e c1an m thes ctions the gods are called y , from a Greek word signifying fa ble and the l s cience which treats o f them is termed Mytho og y .
